1. A computer-executable method for updating routing information associated with a multicast group in an information-centric network (ICN), the method comprising:

  • receiving, by a first node in the ICN, an update message for the multicast group from a neighbor node, wherein the multicast group includes a root anchor node and a number of anchor nodes with the root anchor node having a smaller name than the anchor nodes, and wherein the update message specifies a prefix associated with the multicast group and the root anchor node of the multicast group;

    selecting, based on topology information stored on the first node, from neighbors of the first node one or more next-hop neighbors that meet a notification condition; and

    forwarding the update message to the one or more next-hop neighbors.
