Abstract
The present invention relates to the technical field of computer networking, in particular to an ID/location hybrid forwarding method based on source routing, including a message format based on an extension header of a MobilityFirst protocol, a source routing forwarding mechanism based on ID identifiers and a source routing forwarding mechanism based on location identifiers. Through the method of the present invention, the source routing forwarding mechanism based on ID identifiers can be adopted in the access domains of the MobilityFirst network to realize the internetworking of intra-domain networks, and the source routing forwarding mechanism based on location identifiers in the core domain realizes the interconnection of inter-domain networks; the method greatly simplifies the processing flow of the data plane of the MobilityFirst network, and meanwhile reserves the design that the ID identifiers and the location identifiers are separated, thereby effectively supporting intra-domain and inter-domain mobile data forwarding.
