Named data networking is considered to be the future of networking. The main reason being the paradigm shift from host centric to information centric communication. As it is still in the development process, it cannot be considered for realistic implementation yet. NDN supports certain unique processes such as content caching, name based content retrieval and content-decision based forwarding. These processes are supported by the strategy layer. However, during packet forwarding, the collision of data packets at receiving-end nodes results in considerable network congestion. Our work tests the NDN on RIOT-OS powered IoTs. RIOT-OS powered IoTs create the actual NDN dynamics. We further propose a forwarding strategy based congestion control scheme at strategy layer to prevent any packet collisions in network. The results show that the proposed scheme is flexible, effective and efficient for futuristic IoTs.
