ROM-P: Route Optimization Management of Producer Mobility in Information-Centric Networking

In recent times, ICN (Information-Centric Networking) attracts interest as an auspicious future Internet architecture, which resolves problems of the current TCP/IP architecture. However, one of challenging problems is how to support producer mobility for explosively increasing mobile devices as well as vehicular communications. This paper proposes efficient producer mobility scheme with devices dynamically moving, considering route optimization. Our scheme, called ROM-P, uses auxiliary FIB (Forward Information Base), referred to BIT (Binding Information Table), which is located on top of FIB and contains producer mobility information. The features of the proposed scheme are: (i) distribute anchor points, which reduces system failure caused by anchor damage and (ii) enable caching using the same data name in comparison with our previous work [3].
