MobiCCN: Mobility support with greedy routing in Content-Centric Networks

Content-Centric Network (CCN) shifts the Internet from point-to-point paradigm to receiver-driven data-centric paradigm. While it tries to solve many problems in the current Internet and opens the door to many novel applications, it also leaves many challenges unanswered, e.g., mobility support and mobile content publishing and dissemination. In this paper, we show how a greedy routing can be implemented in CCN architecture to support mobility. This allows for efficient content publisher mobility and supports seamless handoffs for interactive connections. We present our solution - MobiCCN, and evaluate it thoroughly in realistic network topologies to show it outperforms other popular mobility schemes.
