Study on addressing and routing in space-ground integrated information network

Abstract

The space-ground integrated information network is considered to be promising for interconnection and integration of the terrestrial internet,mobile communication networks,and space networks.A unified network layer is significant for efficient integration.Motivated by the characteristics of space links and space networks,an addressing and routing approach for the space-ground integrated information network was proposed,which leveraged IPv6 and hierarchical routing to achieve good efficiency,scalability,availability,stability,and controllability.
