E-CHANET: Routing, forwarding and transport in Information-Centric multihop wireless networks

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a promising architecture for the future Internet that focuses on content rather than IP addresses. By leveraging named-data instead of named-hosts, ICN does not need the set up and maintenance of stable paths between end-nodes. This makes ICN particularly convenient in networks characterized by intermittent connectivity and hostile propagation conditions, such as wireless multihop networks like ad hoc and...
