Abstract
This document defines a hybrid naming scheme for unifying all kinds
of information including resources, services and data. With many
proposals of novel network architectures emerging, such as DONA, ICN
NDN, the location-based routing starts to transfer to the content
based ones. Currently, it is incompatible that many different
information naming schemes are adopted in different network
proposals, respectively, i.e. flat names in DONA, hierarchical names
in NDN. The proposed naming scheme adopts a hybrid naming structure,
which includes hierarchical component, flat component and attribute
component. The hybrid naming (hn) scheme enables to identify
different routing information uniformly, and provides many great
advantages, such as high aggregation, limited length, suffix holes
remission, fuzzy matching support, high security and good
compatibility with IPv4/IPv6, DONA, CCN/NDN and so on.

1. Introduction
1.1. Hierarchical naming
It has proposed a readable naming mechanism based on the
hierarchical structure by some emerging network architectures (i.e.
Content-Centric Network (CCN) [1]/Named Data Networking (NDN) [2]).
This kind of hierarchical name is very similar as identifying a web
with a URL for example "/www.bupt.edu.cn/content/a.avi". In this
example, "/" is the separator between adjacent components of the
name.
It's known that there are many advantages in this naming scheme.
First, it is well compatible with current applications or systems
based on URL, which can reduce the difficulty of deploying the novel
network. Second, it has a good aggregation to reduce the number of
routing information, thus, to improve lookup efficiency of routing
information. Besides, its lookup mechanism has a good compatibility
with the existing classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) [3].
However, the hierarchical name also has some fatal disadvantages.
Because it consists of a series of unlimited components. The number
of components is changeable, and the length of each component is not
restricted. All these features cause the length of names variable
and relatively long [4]. In this way, the routing table and
forwarding table may be very huge, which results in low lookup
efficiency.
Zhang, et al. Expires October 10, 2018 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Uniform information with an hn scheme April 2018
In addition, when users search for a resource, they might not
remember the long name of the resource. For example, users need the
resource a.avi, but they might not know the official name
"/www.bupt.edu.cn/content/a.avi" or "/www.bupt.edu.cn/movie/a.avi".
Thus, hierarchical naming structure is difficult to support a fuzzy
matching based on the attributes of names.
1.2. Flat naming
The flat naming mechanism has been used in other novel network
architectures, such as DONA [5] and NetInf [6]. It can be produced
by cryptographic hashing of the content or its attributes.
As the flat name has not any structure restriction, it can be
obtained and used more flexibly. Any string with a fix length, no
matter whether it is readable or not, can be used as a flat name.
However, the flat name has a low degree of aggregation, which will
increase the number of routing entries and reduce the expandability
of routing table. Besides, it increases the probability for users to
forget the official names of the desired information for most of
flat names being not readable. When users want to obtain contents,
it needs an additional mapping system to map readable names and
unreadable names for users.
1.3. Attribute naming
The naming mechanism based on attributes of content is used in the
CBCB [7]. It enumerates the attribute information of a resource,
such as the category, format, date, feature, level and so on. This
name is non-uniqueness which is different from the former two
mechanisms. The related content can be searched and located by means
of the key properties of resource.
The advantage of this naming mechanism is that, it supports
searching key words and provides benefits for the fuzzy matching of
searching resources. However, there may be many similar properties
for a set of certain resources. A number of attributes is hardly
ensure the uniqueness of naming. Thus, to guarantee the uniqueness,
the attributes stored in routing system will be very huge.
2. Conventions used in this document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
Zhang, et al. Expires October 10, 2018 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Uniform information with an hn scheme April 2018
In this document, these words will appear with that interpretation
only when in ALL CAPS. Lower case uses of these words are not to be
interpreted as carrying significance described in RFC 2119.
In this document, the characters ">>" preceding an indented line(s)
indicates a statement using the key words listed above. This
convention aids reviewers in quickly identifying or finding the
portions of this RFC covered by these keywords.
3. Novel hybrid naming (hn) format
According to the analysis of above three naming mechanisms in terms
of advantages and disadvantages, a hybrid naming is suggested to
highlight the benefits of them and weaken their demerits.
Most importantly of all, three different mainstream naming schemes
are adopted in different novel network architectures, which makes
the networks be hardly compatible and implemented complexly.
There's one easy and all-benefit solution is to integrate them, and
to take each of them as a part of the hybrid naming solution. In
other words, each of them takes some weight of the novel naming
scheme.
We proposed a hybrid naming mechanism (named by "hn"), which
organizes the three naming mechanisms in a sequence, and builds a
more powerful and universal naming format.
The hybrid naming format should include three components:
o Hierarchical component
o Flat component
o Attribute component
Each part carries different information of name in different
formats, which combined to an entire name. The hybrid name is
started by a symbol "hn://". The order of three parts should be as
follows:
1. The first part of a name is very essential for the aggregation of
routing entries. A hierarchical structure is adopted in the first
part. The symbol "/" is used to split the hierarchical levels in
this part.
Zhang, et al. Expires October 10, 2018 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Uniform information with an hn scheme April 2018
2. The second part of a name is very important to identify the
content uniquely. The second part uses a flat structure and a
string with a fix length through hash computing.
3. The third part of a name is used to represent the extensive
information of resources. The attribute-based structure is
selected in the third part, which is composed of a set of
attribute words. An example of the hybrid name for a movie is
shown in Figure 1.

3.1. Hierarchical component generating
Hierarchical component is the first part of the hn naming format.
This part is suggested to be generated by a followed reference
standard.
The string set in top level, string set in second level and so on is
defined by this standard. It is very useful to promote its
aggregation greatly. One available but not complete reference
standard for naming hierarchical component is the naming scheme of
DNS.
3.2. Flat component generating
Flat component is the second part of hn naming scheme. This part is
suggested to identify the information using a string with a limited
length, and it must combine with the first part to identify the
information uniquely.
Flat component can be generated by cryptographic hash algorithm by
the information itself or some characters of the information. Even
though this part has a low probability of aggregation, it highlights
and ensures the uniqueness of name.

Internet-Draft Uniform information with an hn scheme April 2018
3.3. Attribute component generating
Attribute component is placed as the third part of hn naming scheme.
This part will take charge of the fuzzy matching and some advanced
search, i.e. QoS guarantee. This part will also contribute to
conduct some potential advanced application based on the useful
attributes. It can be generated by extracting the features of the
information, such as the format, issue time, file size, catalog,
location, popularity, privacy level and so on.
4. Advantages
4.1. High aggregation
The aggregation of names is very important for the name lookup and
storage. According to Google's report, the number of URLs it indexed
was 26 million in 1998, which reached to one billion in 2000, and is
currently 1 trillion [8]. In July 2011, these URLs could be
aggregated to about 280 million domain names, among which 86 million
are active.
It is a fact that there is a great aggregation for the first few
levels of the hierarchical tree. Therefore, the hierarchical
structure is used in the first part of the hn. By this way, the
routing entries can be reduced obviously and the aggregation of
route can be improved. For example, there are two routing
entries"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/m/movie/fhk562nfgjru056:kongfu:avi:1024p:pa
rt1 3" and
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/m/picture/fh84rnf213gjrru:jpg:300*500:prairie 3"
which have the same forwarding port "3" and prefix
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/m". Therefore, the forwarding port and
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/m" can only be stored in routing table. Above all,
it not only reduces the entries of routing table, but also reduces
the length of each routing entries. An example of aggregation
process is shown in Figure 3.

4.2. Limited length
The length of name based on hierarchical structure is variable and
relatively long, because it must be formed by several parts and the
number of component is changeable. Kelvin [9] has selected 6627999
URL in 78764 different domain names, and the statistics shows that
the average length of URL is 76.97 bytes. In the architecture of
ICN, the name must be extracted to query in forwarding table or
routing table and a long name entry will lead to the query speed
becoming lower, hence, affecting the performance of routing.
The hn naming scheme uses a part of flat component in the name to
ease this problem. A fix length flat part is embedded behind the
hierarchical part. This design not only can restrict the length of
names not too long, but also will reduce the effect of the
aggregation. For example, if the average length of hierarchical part
is controlled within 30 bytes, adopting a flat part with a fix
length of 20 bytes, then, the whole average length will be
restricted within 50 bytes. Comparing to 76.97 bytes, the length is
shortened by nearly 35%, which will improve the query speed of name
greatly using the length dependent algorithms.
4.3. Suffix holes remission
The suffix hole is a well-known problem for the route of prefix
matching. For example, a routing entry "/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/3" is
stored in the route table for prefix matching. In fact, it is
aggregated by "/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/a.avi/part1 3"and
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/b.avi/part1 3". In this way, the forwarding
packets will be forward from port 3, only if the prefix of name is
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/". However, if packets with a name of
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/c.avi" arrive in the router, it will also be
forwarded from port 3. In fact, the network that port 3 connects
only has a.avi and b.avi. This causes the so-called suffix holes
[10].
In the proposed hn scheme, the flat part can solve the problem of
suffix holes efficiently. For example, there are two resource names
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/s83hho90oxn2783nde4r:kongfu:avi:1024p:part1
3" and
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/8uh723k9ng556sgaesgs:love:rmvb:720p:part2:20
12-3-4 3". After route aggregation, the routing entry will become
Zhang, et al. Expires October 10, 2018 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Uniform information with an hn scheme April 2018
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/ 3". The routing entry will be matched when
a packet whose name is "/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/a932jfdjf2032942-jdd:
control: avi: 1024p: part1: part2" arrives at this router.
However, it could not be forwarded from the port 3 based on hn
scheme due to the incomplete prefix matching. There is a suffix list
in each aggregating prefix, and the packet will be forwarded only
when the requesting suffix exists in the suffix list. In hn scheme,
it must assort a suffix list for each routing entries like
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/ 3" to store the flat part of names.
Although the name of the new packet has been matched to the routing
entries, its flat part "a932jfdjf2032942-jdd" does not exist in the
suffix list "/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/ 3". The plat part will be used
to confirm whether it forwards the request packet when the prefix is
matched. By this way, the problem of suffix holes can be resolved
effectively. The lookup process of hn names is shown in Figure 4.

4.4. Fuzzy matching support
In the practical, it's an important situation that the users may not
know the full official resource name when they search a resource.
The hn naming scheme supports the fuzzy matching according to the
function of the attribute component. For example, if the users need
Zhang, et al. Expires October 10, 2018 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Uniform information with an hn scheme April 2018
the resource a.avi, they don't need to know the official name
"hn://www.bjtu.edu.cn/m/|u584uuj89324ru|kongfu:movie:avi:1024p:part1
". In this case, users only publish the information of video
"kongfu" and the resolution ratio "1024p". Then the related
resources can be found intelligently by fuzzy matching based on the
attribute component matching. This is the benefit about embedding
attribute of resource in the end of name.
4.5. Good compatibility
This naming scheme provides a good compatibility for all three
mainstream naming schemes, which are the subset of the hn naming
scheme.
4.6. High security
It is very similar as identifying a web with a URL in the
conventional hierarchical naming mechanism, for example
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/a.avi". However, the name of components is
variable. Although it is convenient to know every component of the
resources, it results in bad security.
In the proposed hn scheme, this security problem can be solved. For
example, one hn resource name called "/www.bjtu.edu.cn/
s83hho90oxn2783nde4r: kongfu: avi: 1024p: part1 3", and another
conventional name "/www.bjtu.edu.cn/movie/a.avi 3". The attacker can
know every component when he/she sees the conventional name. On the
contrary, the hn name does not have this problem. In the hn naming
scheme, people can just know the few components of the resources,
thus, the attacker could not attack the components easily.
Therefore, this naming scheme has a better security than
hierarchical naming mechanism. Also, MD5 algorithm can be applied to
the hn naming in order to encrypt the resources displayed in the
flat component.
5. Transition form IPv4 and IPv6
5.1. Case one
In TCP/IP networks, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are used to represent
the resource locations. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can also be used to
fetch the desired information uniquely combing with the port
information and content directory. We consider the hybrid naming
scheme transiting from IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
The IPv4 or IPv6 address is the hierarchical as the first part of
the hybrid name. The port number is flat as the second part of the
Zhang, et al. Expires October 10, 2018 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Uniform information with an hn scheme April 2018
hybrid name. The third part of hybrid name is the content directory
set. An illustration of transition from IPv4 and IPv6 is shown in
Figure 5.

Another case of transition from URL is shown in Figure 6. For
example, the url is

of attributes information. The hn format is shown as following.

6. Compatibility
6.1. Compatibility with DONA
Data-Oriented Network Architecture (DONA) transfers the location-
based routing to the content-based one. The hybrid naming scheme is
well compatible with DONA and the specific transformation process is
shown as below.
(1)The hierarchical component is transferred into a flat id with a
shorter length, which is apart from the original flat component.
(2)This new flat id can be produced by some relevant authorities,
which is an analogue with the domain-name providers. Besides, this
flat id enables to represent huge amounts of hierarchical names by
constantly increasing its length. However, it is typically much
shorter than the previous name.
(3)Due to the variable length of hierarchical components, an integer
identifier is added to identify the length of transferred
component. This mechanism is similar to the partition method of
subset.
Zhang, et al. Expires October 10, 2018 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Uniform information with an hn scheme April 2018
(4)The symbol "/" is used for splitting this identifier with flat
component.
For example, there is a routing entry
"/www.bjtu.edu.cn/m/movie/fhk562nfgjru056:kongfu:avi:1024p:part1 3".
The first component "www.bjtu.edu.cn/m/movie" is transferred to a
unique flat name "dllta", which is settled before the flat
component. Meanwhile, we get an identifier "5" to indicate that the
first 5 characters represent the length of transferred hierarchical
name. It is significant that the name can be restored easily
according to their one-to-one mapping. This transformation process
is shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7 An example of the transformation for hierarchical name
6.2. Compatibility with CCN/NDN
CCN or NDN have proposed a readable naming mechanism based on the
hierarchical structure. The hybrid naming scheme is also well
compatible with CCN/NDN. The specific transformation process is
shown as below.
(1)The hierarchical component of hn structure will not be changed as
the first unit.
(2)The flat component is transferred to one unit followed by the
first unit, and uses "/" as separation label.
(3)The attributes component is transferred to many units, which are
separated by the label "/".
(4)The transformation between the hybrid naming structure and
CCN/NDN hierarchical naming structure can easily accomplish.
For example, there is a routing entry
hn://www.bjtu.edu.cn/m/picture|fh84rnf213gjrru|300*500 prairie 3".
The components "fh84rnf213gjrru|300*500 prairie" is transferred to
several unique units "id=fh84rnf213gjrru/300*500prairie". It is
significant that the name can be restored easily according to their
one-to-one mapping. This transformation process is shown in Figure
8.

7. Formal Syntax
The following syntax specification uses the augmented Backus-Naur
Form (BNF) as described in RFC 5234 [RFC5234].
8. Security Considerations
The proposed hn naming scheme has potential benefits for the
security. The hierarchical prefix has a high aggregation, which can
avoid the security issues of rapid expansion in routing or
forwarding table, such as DoS attack. The users' privacy and the
content secrets can be protected by the flat component from readable
names. The attributes component can improve the management for the
secure contents by using some encryption key.
9. IANA Considerations
This document presents no IANA considerations.
10. Conclusions
This document defines a novel hybrid naming scheme for unifying all
kinds of information (including resources, services and data). This
hybrid naming scheme owns many advantages, which can provide a
better compatibility for existing naming schemes.
