  MAP-Me : Managing Anchorless Mobility in Content Centric Networking
                       draft-irtf-icnrg-mapme-00

Abstract

   Mobility has become a basic premise of network communications,
   thereby requiring a native integration into 5G networks.  Despite
   numerous efforts to propose and standardize effective mobility-
   management models for IP, the result is a complex, poorly flexible
   set of mechanisms.  The natural support for mobility offered by ICN
   (Information Centric Networking) makes it a good candidate to define
   a radically new solution relieving limitations of the traditional
   approaches.  If consumer mobility is supported in ICN by design, in
   virtue of its connectionless pull-based communication model, producer
   mobility is still an open challenge.  In this document, we focus on
   two prominent ICN architectures, CCN (Content Centric Networking) and
   NDN (Named Data Networking) and describe MAP-Me, an anchor-less
   solution to manage micro-mobility of content producers via a name-
   based CCN/NDN data plane, with support for latency-sensitive
   applications.
