CONTENT IDENTIFICATION, RETRIEVAL AND ROUTING IN THE INTERNET

摘要

A method and apparatus for content identification, retrieval, and routing in the Internet are provided. In the method and apparatus, content is uniquely identified using an object identifier (OID), and the OID is used for routing and retrieving content in an Internet network. Further, in the method and apparatus, OID summarization based on one or more OIDs may be performed, in which Bloom filters are applied to a portion of the one or more OIDs. Furthermore, hash functions may be applied to network node identities to determine location resolver nodes associated with content.
