A hash-based distributed mapping control scheme in mobile locator-identifier separation protocol networks

An Overview of the Identifier-Locator Network Protocol (ILNP)

This document provides an overview of the Identifier-Locator Network Protocol (ILNP), using the Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) as a reference point. The key difference between ILNP and IP is that the IP Address is replaced by two distinct namespaces. The new Identifier namespace is used only for the identity of a given ILNP node. The new Locator namespace is used only for routing packets t...

An Introduction to the Identifier-Locator Network Protocol (ILNP)

Mobility, multi-homing, local addressing and end-to-end security at the network layer remain challenging even with the advent of IPv6. We propose a new network protocol, which can be built upon IPv6 incrementally, that breaks the address into two separate entities, a Locator and an Identifier, with crisp semantics for each, that seeks to solve these issues through an improved naming and address...
