Abstract(in English) In Named Data Networking (NDN), a request packet is forwarded according to a content name, and the corresponding response one is forwarded along the reverse path. To create the reverse path, each router records a pair of a content name and an incoming interface of the request packet in a Pending Interest Table (PIT). Fast NDN routers need to parallelize packet processing. However, mutual exclusion used for maintaining the consistency of the PIT degrade forwarding speed. Sharding, which dispatches packets with the same name to the same thread, eliminates mutual exclusion, but causes load imbalance among threads due to popular packets to be dispatched to a specific thread. This paper proposes a load balancing mechanism that sprays popular packets to threads by exploiting the fact that the PIT is never accessed if response packets are returned from caches in intermediate routers.
