Content distribution framework for wireless mesh networks : an information-centric approach

Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017. / Information Centric Networking (ICN) is an emerging research field that aims to
replace the current host-centric model of Content distribution on the Internet. In ICN
architectures, network devices not only forward Content, but also store it thus
effectively distributing the traffic load and making access to Content faster. In this
thesis, the ability to utilize ICN as the content distribution scheme in WMNs is
explored.
The main contribution is the development of IcnMesh – a simulator that integrates a
Content-Centric scheme in Wireless Mesh Networks thus allowing the study of ICN
Content distribution schemes in WMNs. Through simulation experiments, it is shown
that ICN schemes can significantly enhance the performance of a WMN and eliminate
some of their existing shortcomings.
