The Content-Centric Networking (CCN) architecture, a clean-slate network design, borrows its routing concepts from IP. If content is located on mobile sources, CCN also inherits some of the mobility problems known from IP. In this paper, we explore the design space of CCN mobility solutions by revisiting well-known IP approaches that aim to solve a remarkably similar problem. While mobility solutions may be quite similar in both architectures, we find that a locator/identifier split should be implemented at the network layer in CCN to prevent temporary, topology-dependent information to leak into content that ought to be permanent. Mobility handling further benefits from CCN's security model and multipath forwarding. To provide a starting point for further research, we present a simple mobility approach based on an explicit locator/identifier split.
