ITU-T F.746.6 (12/2017) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and co

10、mmunication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.

11、 The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resoluti

12、on 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and

13、 a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are me

22、 1 Scope This Recommendation describes the requirements for a flexible name resolution service for information-centric networks (ICN). It defines the key functional modules for name resolution service in ICN. This Recommendation covers the following: capabilities of name resolution service in ICN; r

23、equirements for name resolution service in ICN; scenarios of name resolution service for ICN instances. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publica

24、tion, the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; users of this Recommendation are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the Recommendations and other references listed below. A list of the

25、currently valid ITU-T Recommendations is regularly published. The reference to a document within this Recommendation does not give it, as a stand-alone document, the status of a Recommendation.

26、orks. ITU-T Y.3033 Recommendation ITU-T Y.3033 (2014), Framework of data aware networking for future networks. 3 Definitions 3.1 Terms defined elsewhere This Recommendation uses the following term defined elsewhere: 3.1.1 future network (FN) b-ITU-T Y.3001: A network able to provide services, capabi

27、lities, and facilities difficult to provide using existing network technologies. A future network is either: a) A new component network or an enhanced version of an existing one, or b) A heterogeneous collection of new component networks or of new and existing component networks that is operated as

28、a single network. NOTE 1 The plural form “Future Networks“ (FNs) is used to show that there may be more than one network that fits the definition of a future network. NOTE 2 A network of type b may also include networks of type a. NOTE 3 The label assigned to the final federation may, or may not, in

29、clude the word “future“, depending on its nature relative to any preceding network and similarities thereto. NOTE 4 The word “difficult“ does not preclude some current technologies from being used in future networks. NOTE 5 In the context of this Recommendation, the word “new“ applied to a component

30、 network means that the component network is able to provide services, capabilities, and facilities that are difficult or impossible to provide using existing network technologies. 2 Rec. ITU-T F.746.6 (12/2017) 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following term:

31、 3.2.1 name resolution: The process by which, given an initial name and an initial naming context, an association between a name and the entity designated by the initial name can be found (adapted from b-ITU-T X.902). NOTE The name resolution process does not necessarily provide sufficient informati

32、on to interact with the designated entity. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: DNS Domain Name System GNRS Global Name Resolution Service GUID Globally Unique Identifier ICN Information-Centric Networks NAT Network Address Translation NDN N

33、amed Data Networking NRS Name Resolution Service 5 Conventions In this Recommendation: The expression “is required to“ indicates a requirement which must be strictly followed and from which no deviation is permitted if conformance to this Recommendation is to be claimed. The expression “is recommend

34、ed“ indicates a requirement which is recommended but not absolutely required. Thus, this requirement need not be present to claim conformance. The keywords “can optionally“ indicate an optional requirement which is permissible, without implying any sense of being recommended. This term is not intend

35、ed to imply that the vendors implementation must provide the option and the feature can be optionally enabled by the network operator / service provider. Rather, it means the vendor may optionally provide the feature and still claim conformance with the specification. 6 Motivation Information-centri

36、c networks (ICN) is a promising technology for future Internet design with which a user can directly obtain a content object by its name (or identification) without specifying the location of the content object. In recent years, various ICN solutions have been proposed with their own namespaces such

37、 as named data networking (NDN) b-Jacobson, MobilityFirst b-Seskar and publish subscribe Internet technology (PURSUIT) b-Fotiou. To identify different objects from their associated names, a name resolution service is needed. Different name resolution schemes are adopted for different ICN solutions,

38、such as the rendezvous system in PURSUIT b-Fotiou and global name resolution service (GNRS) system in MobilityFirst b-Seskar. Various name resolution schemes differ from each other from the perspectives of resolution policies and management mechanisms. The comparison of resolution policies and manag

39、ement mechanisms among various existing name resolution schemes in the current Internet and ICN are shown in Table I.1 (see Appendix I). Rec. ITU-T F.746.6 (12/2017) 3 As described in ITU-T F.746.4, each solution has its own pros and cons and is best suited to some particular application requirement

40、s. Different ICN service providers may deploy their own ICN instances with their own namespaces on top of the same physical network. To support the coexistence of various ICN instances on the same physical network, and to enable the potential interoperation among different ICN instances that employ

41、different namespaces, a flexible name resolution service for information-centric networks is needed. This name resolution service provides dynamic resolution that allows the administrator of ICN instances to flexibly specify namespaces with their private naming schemes and resolution policies. Furth

42、ermore, this name resolution service is required to support any particular ICN instance independently, which means that internal-mapping relationships between multiple namespaces of the same ICN instance are maintained independently. It is also recommended that this name resolution service facilitat

43、e interoperation between different ICN instances with their own namespaces, which means the cross-mapping relationships between the multiple namespaces belonging to different ICN instances will be maintained. 7 Functional modules of name resolution service in ICN As shown in Figure 7-1, the name res

44、olution service in ICN includes four functional modules: name resolution service (NRS) access control module, namespace management module, resolution engine module and interoperation module. This clause addresses the capabilities of these functional modules. Figure 7-1 Functional modules of name res

45、olution service 7.1 Name resolution service access control module The NRS access control module offers the capabilities of authentication and authorization. As there are multiple ICN instances coexisting in the same physical network, to safeguard the sensitive namespace information of each ICN insta

46、nce, the administrators of the ICN instances must be authenticated and authorized to explore the capabilities provided by the namespace management module and interoperation module. 7.2 Namespace management module The namespace management module is responsible for enabling the administrators of ICN i

47、nstances flexibly to manage their own namespaces and specify their resolution policies. With this module, an administrator of the ICN instance can define namespaces with a particular naming scheme and indicate the scope of the namespace based on their design principles. The administrator can also cr

48、eate and update the names and the internal-mapping relationships between multiple namespaces of the same ICN instance. 4 Rec. ITU-T F.746.6 (12/2017) 7.3 Interoperation module An object has different names in different ICN instances. The interoperation module maintains the cross-mapping relationship

49、s between the multiple namespaces belonging to different ICN instances. The administrator of the ICN instance can indicate objects to which access by other ICN instance(s) is allowed. The interoperation modules of different ICN instances exchange with each other the names of the objects that can be accessed by other ICN instance(s). 7.4 Resolution engine module The resolution engine module uses the information and polices maintained in the namespace management module and interoperation module to accompl
