Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system is provided for forwarding packets with hierarchically structured variable-length identifiers (HSVLIs) over Ethernet. The system receives an Ethernet-encapsulated registration message from a content server, which includes a packet containing an HSVLI. A destination MAC of the registration message is an Ethernet group MAC address. The system then creates an entry in a forwarding information base corresponding to the HSVLI indicating a MAC address of the content server and a port on which the registration message is received. The system receives an interest packet from a client which includes the HSVLI. The packet has the Ethernet group MAC address as its destination MAC address and the client's MAC address as its source MAC address. The system forwards the interest packet to the content server, which has the content server's MAC address as its destination MAC address and a local switch's MAC address as its source MAC address.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-executable method for forwarding packets with hierarchically structured variable-length identifiers (HSVLIs) over a local area network, the method comprising: receiving a registration message from a content server, wherein the registration message includes a packet containing an HSVLI, and wherein a destination media access control (MAC) of the registration message is a group MAC address; creating an entry in a forwarding information base corres…
