Seamless Producer Mobility as a Service in Information Centric Networks

In this paper, we present a service-driven mobility support architecture for Information Centric Networks that provides seamless mobility as an on-demand network service, which can be enabled/disabled based on network capabilities or resource availability. Proposed architecture relies on the ID/Locator split on ICN namespaces to support the use of persistent names and avoids name reconfiguration due to mobility. We implemented the proposed solution over a service-centric CCN platform, with multiple end-hosts running a video conferencing application acting as Consumers and Producers, and observed its capability to support seamless handover.
