In this paper, we discuss a new architecture of future Internet for mobile-oriented environments, named Mobile-Oriented Future Internet (MOFI). The MOFI architecture is designed with Host Identifier and Local Locator (HILL) for identifier and locator separation. Based on the HILL separation architecture, we propose a Dynamic and Distributed Mapping System (DDMS) for identifier-locator mapping control. In DDMS, the mapping control function is distributed onto each access router in the domain, which is different from the centralized approach using a central anchor. For validation of the proposed MOFI-DDMS architecture, we implemented the data delivery and mapping control functions using Linux platform. From the testbed experimental results, we see that the DDMS architecture can give better performance than the existing Proxy Mobile IP (PMIP) protocol in terms of data transmission throughput.

Of several approaches for future Internet, separating two properties of IP address into locator and identifier, is being considered as a highly likely solution. IETF's LISP (Locator ID Separation Protocol) is proposed for this architecture. In particular, the LISP model easily allows for device mobility through simple update of information at MS (Mapping Server) without a separate protocol. In recent years, some of the models supporting device mobility using such LISP attributes have emerged; however, most of them have the limitation for seamless mobility support due to the frequent MS information updates and the time required for the updates. In this paper, PMIPv6 (Proxy Mobile IPv6) model is applied for mobility support in LISP model. PMIPv6 is a method that can support mobility based on network without the help of device; thus, this we define anew the behavior of functional modules (LMA, MAG and MS) to fit this model to the LISP environment and present specifically procedures of device registration, data transfer, route optimization and handover. In addition, our approach improves the communication performance using three tunnels identified with locators between mobile node and corresponding node and using a route optimized tunnel between MN's MAG and CN's MAG. Finally, it allows for seamless mobility by designing a sophisticated handover procedure.

This paper proposes a new IPv6 networking paradigm as a counter answer to the rationale for locator/identifier separation. Instead of involving separate number spaces each for node identifiers and locators, the context of the IP address as a node identifier alone is utilized and no additional locators are incorporated. That is, there are only node addresses and no locators, and location information is indirectly derived from neighbor relations between nodes. In order to accomplish this, no subnet IDs are utilized; the ID value is set to zero for all subnets. The paper details how to construct this paradigm through novel choice of operational policies in various IPv6 protocols and some trivial modifications. Especially, inherent provision of intra-domain node- as well as subnet-mobility by use of standard link-state intra-domain routing protocols is discussed. A number of important advantages of this paradigm over the canonical IPv6 networking and various known solutions of locator/identifier separation are discussed. Tailoring for multi-area domains and IPv4 is left for further study.

현재의 인터넷은 라우팅과 어드레싱에 대한 심각한 확장성 문제를 가지고 있다. 이러한 확장성의 가장 큰 원인은 멀티호밍, 트래픽 엔지니어링, 집적되지 못하는 주소 할당 등이며, 이로 인하여 백본 지역의 라우팅 테이블 크기가 기하급수적으로 증가하는 현상을 보이고 있다. 또한 현재의 IP 주소는 호스트의 식별자와 위치자의 의미를 함께 사용하기 때문에 호스트의 이동성 및 멀티호밍을 지원하는 데 한계점이 있다. 이러한 현재 인터넷의 문제점 해결 방안으로 식별자와 위치자 분리 구조가 연구되고 있다. 본고에서는 식별자와 위치자 분리 구조에서 필수적으로 요구되는 식별자와 위치자 간의 매핑 시스템에 관한 연구들을 소개하고 각각의 장단점을 분석한다. 본고에서는 현재 인터넷 기반의 대표적 식별자와 위치자 분리 구조 중 IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force)에서 잘 알려진 LISP(Locator Identifier Separation Protocol), HIP(Host Identity Protocol), ILNP(Identifier Locator Network Protocol)에서 제안하는 매핑 시스템들과 미래인터넷 기반의 대표적 식별자와 위치자 분리 구조 중 미국의 MobilityFirst와 한국의 MOFI(Mobile-Oriented Future Internet)에서 제안하는 매핑 시스템들을 중점적으로 소개한다.

Locator and Identifier Split is considered as the solution to the scalability problem Internet is facing today. The separation approach of Locator and Identifier requires a third party called mapping system. The mapping system enables the inter-domain routing between two different edge networks. The design of this third party has generated many proposals, among them one approach use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for effective mapping information updates distribution. In this paper, we take advantage of this approach by considering the scalability in term of mapping information storage. Our goal is to provide scalability in term of mapping information storage as well as effective mapping information updates distribution.

The IP address used in the Internet has the role of both identifier and locator to bind a host and the application, however, this binding restricts some functions such as mobility and multi-homing. As a result, we suggested a host ID-LOC separation protocol using DHT with SDN features. The proposed scheme is a network-based scheme, and uses IPv6 addresses. The underlying network is partitioned into Host Identity domain and IP domain for identifiers and locators. In this paper, we present a simple cost model for analyzing both the proposed scheme and one of the previous works, the MOFI. The result of cost analysis shows better performance of the proposed scheme.

In the future Network Centric Warfare(NCW), changing to IPv6 based network environment is required to enable various future technologies such as the Internet of Things(IoT) and cloud technology which are expected to be introduced to the tactical network evolution. With the change to the IPv6 network, an ID/LOC(Identifier/Location) separation protocol that decomposes context of the IP address to location and identifier can enhance network capacity of increasing number of device and provide efficient mobility management in the tactical network that changes topology dynamically. In this paper, we choose ILNP(Identifier-Locator Network Protocol) as an ID/LOC separation for tactical network environment. In addition to ILNP-based tactical network design, this paper proposes a network-based mobility management scheme for providing efficient mobility management. Through numerical performance analysis, we show that the proposed scheme can reduce network loads more effectively than the conventional IP-based mobility management scheme and common handover procedure in ILNP.

Network virtualization is a technique that abstracts the physical network to provide multiple virtual networks to users. Virtualized network has the advantage to offer flexible services and improve resource utilization. In SDN architecture, network hypervisor serves to virtualize the network through address virtualization, topology virtualization and policy virtualization. Among them, address virtualization refers to the technique that provides an independent address space for each virtual network. Previous work divided the physical address space, and assigned an individual division to each virtual network. Each virtual address is then mapped one-to-one to a physical address. However, this approach requires a lot of flow entries, thus making it disadvantageous. Since SDN switches use TCAM (Ternary Contents Addressable Memory) for the flow table, it is very important to reduce the number of flow entries in the aspect of cost and scalability. In this paper, we propose a LISP based address virtualization, which separates address spaces for the physical and virtual addresses and transmits packet through tunneling, in order to resolve the limitation of the previous studies. By implementing a prototype, we show that the proposed scheme provides better scalability.

An IP address is used as a host identifier and a locator to bind hosts and applications to their location in existing Internet. Several protocols are proposed to eliminate this binding. Most of these protocols use IPv6-based host identifiers to maintain compatibility with existing Internet, but these identifiers cannot be handled by standard IPv6 routers because such identifiers are unroutable. Therefore, host identifiers need to be usually converted to locators at hosts, and the standard IPv6 protocol should be modified to interoperate with these protocols. In this paper, we propose a network-based host identifier locator separating scheme in software-defined networking. The proposed scheme separates the underlying network into Host Identity and IP domains in order to directly forward unroutable identifiers. The Host Identity domain operates as an overlaid network over IP domain, and it makes the unroutable identifiers to be routable using distributed hash table based routing strategy. For the evaluation, we compared the proposed scheme with the previous scheme using signaling costs and packet delivery costs. The result shows that the proposed scheme is more suitable in the recent mobile-based environments.
