  The emerging paradigm of Information-Centric Networking is an exciting field
of research, opening opportunities in many areas, such as forwarding
strategies, caching placement policies, applications (e.g. video streaming and
instant messaging), to name a few. In this paper, we address the mobility
aspect of ICN, as well as how it performs in tactical wireless ad hoc
environments. In this paper, we present results from a simulation study that
investigates the performance of Named Data Networking, an instantiation of ICN,
in such environments. We perform a series of simulations based on ndnSIM
studying different mobility scenarios. Our simulations show that even in the
short-term absence of the producer, consumers can still achieve better file
retrieval when caches are used. As an effort to increase the cache diversity
and have a better utilization of the Content Store we study probabilistic LRU.
Furthermore, we compare the performance of our NDN network with a TCP based
approach, using OLSR routing protocol, discussing advantages and disadvantages
of each approach.
