Methods, Systems, and Computer Program Products for Routing Based on a Nested Protocol Address

摘要

Methods and systems are described for routing based on a nested protocol address. In an aspect, data is detected, by a current node in a network, in a data unit that is specified according to a network protocol and that includes a first protocol address including a plurality of other protocol addresses. A current-next protocol address is detected in the plurality that identifies a next node with respect to the current node. A next network interface is determined based on the current-next protocol address. The data is sent, via the next network interface, to the next node.

1. A method for routing based on a nested protocol address, the method comprising:
detecting, by a current node in a network, data in a data unit that is specified according to a network protocol and that includes a first protocol address including a plurality of other protocol addresses; detecting a current-next protocol address in the plurality that identifies a next node with respect to the current node; determining, based on the current-next protocol address, a next network interface; and sending, via the next network interface, the data to the next node, wherein performing at least one element identified as comprising the method includes execution of an instruction by a processor.
