SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HASH-BASED FORWARDING OF PACKETS WITH HIERARCHICALLY STRUCTURED VARIABLE-LENGTH IDENTIFIERS

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for forwarding packets with hierarchically structured variable-length identifiers (HSVLIs). During operation, the system receiving a packet with an HSVLI. The packet includes a first value and a second value. The first value uniquely represents an interest corresponding to the HSVLI. The second value is derived based on at least a subset of the HSVLI components. The system then makes a forwarding decision for the packet based on the first hash value and second hash value.

1. A computer-executable method for forwarding packets with hierarchically structured variable-length identifiers (HSVLIs), the method comprising:
receiving a packet with an HSVLI;
wherein the packet includes a first value and a second value;wherein the first value uniquely represents an interest corresponding to the HSVLI; andwherein the second value is derived based on at least a subset of the HSVLI components; and making a forwarding decision for the packet based on the first hash value and second hash value.
