A Framework for Identifier-Based Routing for Future Internet

The current routing system has been facing serious scalability problem, mobility supporting issue, multi-homing and traffic engineering supporting issue, and provider lock-in problem. Locator/identifier split idea is considered as a promising way to solve the mentioned issue. However, how to design a proper framework for identifier-based routing in the locator/identifier split context is still an unresolved problem. In this paper, we present a scalable and secure framework to tackle the above problem. There are three main contributions of our work. First, we analyze the design challenges in detail. Second, we propose a novel routing framework for future Internet, including the design schemes of main components. Third, we adopt some approaches to enhance the security and improve the lookup efficiency.
