Abstract:
The routing and addressing system of today’s Internet is facing serious scaling problems, which are mainly caused by the overloading of IP address semantics. To address this problem, several recent schemes have been proposed to replace the IP namespace with separation of namespaces for identities and locators. ID Oriented Networks (ION) is one such mechanism. In this paper, a drone prototype based on ION implementation is described. An ID-to-ID communication between a moving drone and a stationary endpoint is demonstrated. ION protocol primitives are defined along with packet format, encapsulation/decapsulation, as well as the handover process. The results obtained from the prototype of ION show that the ID-to-ID communication continues to works well and is not interrupted when the location of the drone changes. This prototype shows that the basic idea of ID/Locator separation is a feasible and positive way to solve the scaling issue in the current Internet Protocol.
