Recently,Information-Centric Networking ICN) has attracted much attention in part because of its promising future as next-generation Internet architecture. While ICN is scalable and efficient in the Internet,it raises concerns when deployed in a mobile large scale network like the Vehicular Ad-hoc Network VANET). For example,conventional ICN techniques do not work well in the intermittent VANET connectivity. Moreover,current ICN proposal strictly follows a receiver-driven transport design. However,many applications in multi-hop adhoc networks are push-based and require fast communications. ICNs pull-based transport in such cases is underperforming and costly. Finally,the inefficiency introduced by ICN default anycast may backfire without careful design. In this study,we introduce Information-Centric Ad-hoc Network ICAN),an efficient,flexible,and adaptive ICN architecture supporting both pull and push transport and contextaware,multi-hop and disruption-tolerant communications all in one system.
