Abstract: 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.
