Flat identifier to locator mapping scheme in the global internet

Abstract

We propose an identifier to locator (ID/LOC) mapping scheme to resolve a locator for a flat identifier and a location update scheme to support dynamic mobility across the global Internet. The aggregation of flat identifiers is not feasible, which can lead to an explosion of binding information between ID and mapping server storing ID/LOC mapping. Also an efficient management of heavy location update traffic is becoming important with increasing numbers of mobile devices. The proposed scheme uses the bloom filter for the inter-domain mapping and the code word compression for inter-domain update message, to achieve mapping scalability and to reduce inter-domain update traffic overhead.
