Abstract:
Identity Oriented Networks (ION) provide mechanisms for scalability, mobility and operations across heterogeneous entities by disseminating unique identity of end points from their position in the network. However, current devices cannot parse the newly added ID field in 3.5 layer. This paper puts forward a universal Software Defined Networking (SDN)-based packet processing mechanism to parse information in high layers and exchange redundant information in low layers with key information in high layers at the entrances of network. Thus, the key field in high layer is visible in low layer and can be parsed by current protocol and routing devices. The article takes GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) packets for example to explain the packet processing method. Besides, delay caused by the packet processing module is measured and an experiment is made to verify that parsing high-layer field succeeds and strategies on high-layer field can be made.
