METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INFORMATION CENTRIC NETWORKING (ICN) OVER LOCATOR/IDENTIFIER SEPARATOR PROTOCOL (LISP)

摘要

A computer-implemented method of enabling information-centric networking (ICN) over a locator/identifier separation protocol (LISP) comprises receiving, by one or more processors of an ingress tunnel router (ITR), from an endpoint, an ICN interest packet that identifies an interest by name; resolving, by the one or more processors of the ITR, a target egress tunnel router (ETR) in accordance with the name; encapsulating, by the one or more processors of the ITR, the ICN interest packet in a LISP packet; and sending, by the one or more processors of the ITR, the LISP packet to the target ETR.
