To manage the constantly changing network status information of the information-centric Internet of Things (IC-IoT), this study proposes a node status monitoring program for the IC-IoT. It first proposes a new management information base structure for recording various network node status information, and adopts the naming format of information-centric networking (ICN), centering on the content of the network node status. In this architecture, we combine the trace route method and adaptive data placement strategy according to the importance of the data block, to obtain the required network status information and improve the retrieval efficiency. At the same time, this scheme designs a security protection mechanism to achieve the purpose of ensuring data confidentiality and access control for management users. Finally, through the establishment of a network simulation test environment, time delay brought by the above-mentioned trace routing mechanism, adaptive data placement strategy, and access control security protection is evaluated. The simulation results show that this scheme can effectively improve the efficiency of data acquisition. The access control model provides data confidentiality and other security functions for the solution, while only brings a small amount of computational cost.
