The invention discloses an information center network mobility management method based on content popularity and belongs to the technical field of next-generation internet technology research. The method includes the steps that, a requester side moves, specifically, the content requester sends an Interest package request, a router in a network receives the Interest message, the local cache is searched first, the Interest message is directly returned to the requester if the content exists in the local cache, and otherwise a PIT table is searched; a proxy node compares the popularity of the content with a popularity threshold value K; a content source moves to a new position and sends a 'handoff completion' message to the proxy node, wherein it is indicated that handoff is completed if an M marking position is '2', and a K marking position is 'NULL'. According to the method, the mobility of mobile nodes in the content center network is achieved, and the mobility management method based on the proxy node and the web cache avoids communication outage caused by single-fault nodes and link failure; once the proxy node fails and can not serve any more, the network can automatically carry out handoff in a web cache mode, and therefore it is guaranteed that communications are conducted normally.
