Abstract

   This document presents how mobility management is handled in Hybrid-
   ICN [I-D.muscariello-intarea-hicn].  The objective of the document is
   to present how end-points mobility is managed in two main cases: the
   end-point sends data (data producer ) or the end-point receive data
   (data consumer).  These two cases are taken into account entirely to
   provide anchorless mobility management in hICN.
