DATA SOURCE MOVEMENT PROCESSING METHOD, PACKET FORWARDING METHOD, AND APPARATUS THEREOF

摘要

The present invention discloses a data source movement processing method, a packet forwarding method, and an apparatus thereof, which are applied to an information centric network (ICN). The data source movement processing method includes: when a target container from a first container enters a second container, registering a route of the target container in the second container; communicating with a resolution system, so that the resolution system updates an access container of the target container from the first container to the second container. In the data source movement processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention, a data source movement is supported without introducing frequent and cumbersome route updates and without changing a content name of content, thereby maintaining persistence of the content name, enhancing feasibility of an ICN architecture, and improving user experience.

主权项

1. A data source movement processing method applied to an information centric network (ICN), the method comprising:
when a target container from a first container enters a second container, registering a route of the target container in the second container, wherein the route of the target container comprises a container identifier of the target container and a port corresponding to the identifier of the target container, so that a content request packet carrying the container identifier of the target container is capable of being forwarded to the target container through the route of the target container; communicating with a resolution system, so that the resolution system updates an access container of the target container from the first container to the second container, wherein the resolution system is configured to return, upon receiving a resolution request that is sent by a requester and used to obtain container information of the access container of the target container, the container information of the access container of the target container to the requester, so that the content request packet carrying the container identifier of the target container is capable of being forwarded to the target container through the access container, and the access container is a container that comprises at least one container and comprises a forwarding entry used to route the content request packet to the at least one container; wherein all of the target container, the first container, the second container, and the access container are storage spaces used to store content.
