This paper proposes a new QoS-aware forwarding strategy for Named Data Networking. Borrowing techniques from the ant colony optimization, the proposed strategy, which is called Ant colony based QoS-aware forwarding strategy (AC-QoS-FS), makes full use of both forward and backward ants to rank interfaces. Forward and backward ants (Interest and Data packets) probe realtime network QoS parameters to update the interfaces ranking in order to select the best one for forwarding the incoming Interests. The effectiveness of AC-QoS-FS is validated through ndnSIM simulation.
