Supporting mobility in a publish subscribe internetwork architecture

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is constantly gaining momentum within the Future Internet research community. In the PURSUIT research project we are developing a clean-slate Pub/Sub Internetworking (PSI or Ψ) approach with integrated seamless mobility support. The novel ICN mechanisms supported in Ψ, along with smartly placed in-network caches, enable the architecture to handle both mobile and fixed devices in a uniform way. This paper presents a blueprint for optimizing mobility support in Ψ without modifications to the architecture or add-on solutions. We demonstrate a micro-mobility scenario that describes the functionality of Ψ's core components in supporting mobility and then sketch our plans for future work and a proper assessment of these designs.
