Nowadays, Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has been accepted as a promising paradigm in which users retrieve named content with information-centric communication mode rather than finding IP address with host-centric communication mode. Although ICN routing has attracted much attention from researchers, the current proposals cannot effectively and intelligently solve the mobility problem in a self-adaptive and self-organizing manner. In this paper, we introduce Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) into ICN and propose a novel ACO-inspired ICN Routing mechanism with Mobility support (AIRM) to retrieve the content no matter where it moves. At first, a continuous pheromone updating strategy inspired by alcohol volatilization model is devised to conduct the forwarding of interest ant. Secondly, we determine which outgoing interfaces can be used to forward interest ant, propose a computation scheme to obtain …
