One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for caching content data to a storage device attached to a node in a content-centric network (CCN). During operation, the system receives a content packet; forwards the content packet to an incoming port of an interest in the content packet; caches a copy of the content packet in the attached storage device, assembles a query; which includes at least a network header and an address associated with storage blocks at which the cached copy of the content packet is located, corresponding to the content packet; and stores the query in a cache table, thereby facilitating a subsequent direct access to the storage blocks using the assembled query to retrieve the copy of the content packet.

A network device obtains Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) flow specification (FlowSpec) information, and generates, based on the BGP FlowSpec information, a first forwarding information base (FIB) table entry including a first prefix and an action, where the BGP FlowSpec information indicates to perform an action on traffic matching a filter condition, where the filter condition includes an attribute of a destination address, where the first FIB table entry indicates the network device to perform the action on the traffic matching the first prefix, and where an attribute of the first prefix is the same as the attribute of the destination address in the filter condition.

This application provides an address processing method and a network device. The method includes: obtaining, by a first network device, an address; determining, by the first network device, a length of a valid address of the address, where the valid address of the address is a 1.sup.st bit, whose bit value is 1, of the address to a last bit of the address; and adding, by the first network device when the length of the valid address of the address is less than a table width of a target table, S zeros before the valid address of the address to obtain an adjusted address, and processing the adjusted address based on the adjusted address and the target table, where S is a difference between the table width of the target table and the length of the valid address of the address.

This application discloses a route information storage method. The method is applied to a wireless mesh network, the wireless mesh network includes a first node, a second node, and at least two stations STAs, the first node is an upper-level node of the second node, the at least two STAs include a first STA and a second STA, and the first STA and the second STA are connected to the second node. In the method, the first node receives a routing request for access requested by the first STA, and if it is determined that a first route entry corresponding to the second STA already exists, the first node no longer generates a new route entry for the first STA, but reuses the first route entry.

Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage processing queue allocation based on addressing attributes of an inner packet. In one implementation, a first gateway identifies processing queues at a second gateway and assigns a unique flow label to each of the processing queues. The first gateway further receives a packet from a computing node that is directed toward the second gateway. The first gateway hashes addressing information in the packet to select a flow label, encapsulates the packet with the flow label in the outer encapsulation header for the encapsulated packet, and forwards the packet toward the second gateway.

A hybrid network communication method is disclosed. A gateway device receives a first association request of a multimode device through a first physical interface, where the first association request includes a MAC address of a second physical interface of the multimode device. The gateway device receives a second association request of the multimode device through a third physical interface, where the second association request includes a MAC address of a fourth physical interface of the multimode device. The gateway device obtains an IPv6 address of the multimode device, and records a first correspondence and a second correspondence. The first correspondence includes the IPv6 address of the multimode device, the MAC address of the second physical interface, and the first physical interface. The second correspondence includes the IPv6 address of the multimode device, the MAC address of the fourth physical interface, and the third physical interface.
