One-hop DHT resolution of locator/ID mapping

Abstract

Recently, scaling problems faced by today's Internet are attracting more and more attentions. It is commonly recognized that separating IP address into identifier and locator is an effective way to solve the problem. How to map identity onto locator is a critical challenge for the locator/ID separation network. We present a resolution of mapping service based on one-hop DHT to resolve a locator for a given identifier. In the proposed scheme, we evaluate the number of items, the bandwidth of a Map-Server, the effect of mobility and the resolution delay. The results show that the system can support mobility and has very low load and resolution delay.
