Abstract—With the development of Internet, the original TCP/IP architecture has faced some critical challenges from scalability, mobility, security and so on. It also hampered the development of some new network technologies such as multi-homing, traffic engineering. It is well known that one of the most important reasons is IP address semantic overloading. As a result, academy commonly considered that we should give a clean-slate design for the naming and addressing architecture of the future Internet. “Locator/ID Split” is one of the most important research areas. The scalable flat-labels based mapping service is the kernel of “Locator/ID Split”. HLIM uses hash-based routing to provide a deterministic mapping resolution for the edge network through distributed mapping servers. HLIM satisfies the scalability of the flat-labels mapping service, and can adapt mapping nodes’ dynamic join and exit.
Index Terms—“Locator/ID Split”, flat-labels, mapping service, hash, scalability.
