Abstract
An anchor server in an information-centric network (ICN) receives registration and deregistration requests from one or more producers in the ICN. In response to a producer initially registering, the anchor server stores records associating the producer with content available from the producer via a first point of attachment. In response to the producer deregistering, the records are marked as deactivated. While the records are deactivated, requests for the content from consumers may be queued. In response to the producer reregistering as being connected to the ICN via a second point of attachment, the queued requests are forwarded to the producer via the second point of attachment.
