Using Mobility Support for Request-Routing in IPv6 CDNs

Overview Content distribution networks have become widespread in the current IPv4-based Internet, and request-routing in CDNs today are primarily based on DNS mechanisms. This paper considers request-routing in CDNs as and when IPv6 networks begin to be deployed. Unlike IPv4, IPv6 includes explicit support for host mobility. This paper illustrates that packet routing to and from mobile hosts has a strong conceptual similarity with wide-area request routing in CDNs.
