A new non-IP networking technology, called as named data networking (NDN), is an emerging research topic for the future Internet. In this paper, we propose a pipe-assisted mobility protocol in NDN networks. The proposed mobility protocol is constructed based on a new proposed name-based routing scheme by utilizing a pipe technique. A new name-based routing protocol is developed by constructing a pipe from a consumer to a producer in NDN networks. With the assistance of the constructed pipe, a pipe-assisted producer mobility protocol is proposed. When a mobile producer enters a new domain, a pipe-based pre-route with the maximum popular levels is built to increase the successful probability of discovering a new path from the producer to the consumer. Extensive simulations illustrate that the proposed pipe-assisted mobility protocol significantly reduces the packet loss rate.
