Producer Mobility Support for Information Centric Networking Approaches: A Review

摘要

The mobility support for Information Centric Networking (ICN) was generally divided into three categories, the consumer mobility, producer mobility and network mobility. Producer mobility is the support for the mobile content provider, source or producer to relocate without disrupting content consumer and intermediate router for content name and its location. ICN is naturally supporting mobile consumer and provides some benefits to facilitate network efficiency and timely delivery of information to the users on mobile. This paper reviews an analysis of producer mobility support in some popular ICN approaches and summarizes some of its features, which provide support during mobility. In addition, a brief comparison between IP mobility and ICN mobility support were discuss and challenges were emphasized especially for NDN and CCN that doesn't support content producer mobility initially from their architectural design. Moreover, this review paper highlights on the mechanisms that facilitate the support of content produce in some approaches that can be used for the solution of other approaches.
