TCP/IP-based Internet is faced with severe challenges in scalability, mobility, security, and controllability, which makes it necessary to research the clean-slate architecture for Internet. Named Data Networking (NDN) leverages in-network caching and multipath transmission to support data name-based packet transmission, and conquers the aforementioned challenges faced by the conventional Internet. Considering the huge number and the significant diversity of hierarchical names used in NDN, the existing IP-based routing cannot be directly applied, and efficient hierarchical name-based routing mechanisms are desired to gurantee stable data transmission. Route aggregation is the core mechanism for FIB size reduction in the TCP/IP-based Internet. Hierarchical name-based route aggregation leverages router cooperation over the whole network to aggregate routes recursively, different from the existing researches for name-based route lookup optimization on a single router. To achieve effective hierarchical name-based route aggregation, identifier generation is focused on in route aggregation and utility evaluation of the aggregated routes. Ultimately, a hierarchical name-based route aggregation scheme is proposed, including two parts:(1) A novel combinable counting Bloom filter for representing aggregated route names compactly, namely, Compounded Counting Bloom Filter (CCBF); (2) A dynamic route aggregation scheme over the whole network for aggregating routes recursively according to their utility. To evaluate the performance of the proposed route aggregation scheme, extensive simulations are performed based on real network topology. Evaluation results show that the proposed scheme can significantly reduce FIB size and improve FIB lookup efficiency at the cost of small number of false positive lookup results. This work provides a foundation for practical NDN deployment.
