Survey of Seamless Mobility Support Solutions in Information-Centric Network
Information-centric network(ICN)is a new network architecture that can meet the challenges faced by TCP/IP networks.ICN uses the method of separating names and addresses to solve the dual semantic problem of IP addresses in TCP/IP networks,and has natural advantages in supporting mobility.Compared with traditional TCP/IP networks,ICN brings novel features such as identifi-cation and address separation,ubiquitous network caching,and multicast content delivery,which makes ICN seamless mobility support face new opportunities and challenges.This article fully investigates the related work of ICN seamless mobility support.It first intro-duces the mobility support scheme in traditional TCP/IP network,and then introduces the existing research work of ICN seamless mob-ility support in detail,and the possible future research directions of ICN seamless mobility support are described to provide reference for subsequent ICN seamless mobility support research.
