METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCALABLE CONTENT ROUTING AND MOBILITY IN NAMED DATA NETWORKS

摘要

Various disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, and computer-readable media for named data network (NDN) inter/intra-domain mobility. A complete de-coupling of identity and addressing space is established. This provides separation of control and forwarding allowing rich policy based routing, using SDN principles, as well as policy based global resolution. In one embodiment, the de-coupling of identity from location is achieved by a changeable forwarding label field in a header that can have nodal/domain/global scope. This disclosure provides content routing/mobility to be handled with a high degree of flexibility. This disclosure also provides mobility as a service for a component of a name space.

主权项

1. A method for routing and mobility in a named data network (NDN), comprising:
a first device having first content comprising identity and address space/location providing a registration to a first point of attachment (PoA); the first PoA forwarding the registration to a first service router serving the first PoA; the first service router responsively creating a local entry in a fast path table (FPT) by decoupling the identity from the address space/location; and the first service router registering the first device to a first local domain controller.
