Routing protocols for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) constitute a research area with numerous evolved and well-investigated solutions that typically still rely on IP. Although IP-based protocols for MANETs can effectively handle network changes, thus enhancing connectivity while offering scalability, they lack support for advanced communication paradigms, which would enable richer applications and improve network goodput. Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is an inter-networking paradigm that natively supports functions that can enhance the performance of MANETs, such as multicast, multisource communication, and on-path caching. However, ICN raises significant scalability and feasibility concerns in the presence of intense node mobility. In this paper, we propose a hybrid architecture that combines the best of both worlds: it uses IP for maintaining network topology and it relies on ICN for content lookup and dissemination. To this end, we adapt the Named-Data Networking (NDN) ICN architecture to use legacy IP MANET routing protocols, such as Babel. Using a prototype implementation of our design and the Mininet Wi-Fi network emulator, we experimentally investigate the performance of our hybrid design in several scenarios, finding that the data delivery to network traffic ratio is increased up to 250% and 300% compared to pure NDN and IP solutions, respectively.

使用混合IP信息中心网络改善移动自组织网络

移动Ad hoc NETworks(MANET)的路由协议构成了一个研究领域,具有众多经过发展且经过充分研究的解决方案,这些解决方案通常仍然依赖IP。尽管用于MANET的基于IP的协议可以有效地处理网络更改,从而在提供可伸缩性的同时增强了连接性,但是它们缺少对高级通信范例的支持,后者无法实现更丰富的应用程序并提高网络吞吐量。以信息为中心的网络(ICN)是一种网络间范例,其固有地支持可以增强MANET性能的功能,例如多播,多源通信和路径缓存。但是,在节点移动性强的情况下,ICN引起了重大的可扩展性和可行性问题。在本文中,我们提出了一种混合架构,该架构结合了两个方面的优点:它使用IP维护网络拓扑,并依靠ICN进行内容查找和分发。为此,我们调整了命名数据网络(NDN)ICN体系结构,以使用传统的IP MANET路由协议,例如Babel。使用我们设计的原型实现和Mininet Wi-Fi网络仿真器,我们在几种情况下实验研究了混合设计的性能,发现与纯网络相比,数据传递与网络流量的比率分别提高了250%和300% NDN和IP解决方案。
