A data plane is connected with a control plane through a southbound interface, the control plane is connected with an application plane through a northbound interface, and a management plane is connected with the application plane, the control plane and a data plane through management interfaces respectively; and by taking the software defined airborne networking architecture as a basis and starting with network performance parameters such as the end-to-end access delay and the throughput, the content-driven routing protocol is further designed. According to the software defined information centric-airborne networking architecture, software defined networking, information centric networking and airborne tactical networking are integrated, the flexibility and efficiency of networking control are improved, and differential networking services and efficient transmission of high-value information are provided for networking; and in addition, the routing protocol provides different levels of differential routing forwarding capacities for different information content, and then the purpose of providing the high-efficiency differential services for networking is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of routing protocols, in particular to a software-defined airborne network architecture and a content-driven routing protocol. Background technique [0002] In recent years, coordinated operations conducted by aviation clusters composed of large-scale manned / unmanned aerial platforms have replaced single-platform operations as the main mode of aviation operations. The members of the cluster realize a single or a small number of complex tasks through collaborative work, thereby realizing the maximization of platform capabilities and the emergence of new capabilities of the cluster. The current airborne network using the "chimney" architecture is usually designed for specific air combat communication requirements such as command, control, attack, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. This design idea makes the communication services provided by the airborne network tightly coupled to specific combat ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This method is simple, but it causes the independence of different systems and duplication of equipment, which leads to difficulties in network management and control, and poor interoperability and scalability.

In addition, restricted by factors such as platform load and integration technology, the performance improvement of airborne network is limited, and the flexibility, openness, and interoperability are obviously insufficient. It is difficult to meet the complex communication requirements of aviation cluster operations, which limits the emergence of aviation cluster capabilities.

[0007] On the one hand, the routing protocol under the current airborne network is restricted by the "chimney" network architecture, which makes it difficult to support the smart combat coordination among the members of the aviation cluster

On the other hand, most of the existing routing protocols for airborne networks only start from solving network problems in specific combat scenarios, and provide practical solutions for improving network performance such as link data rate and end-to-end network availability. But did not consider and grasp the routing mechanism from a global perspective

At the same time, the routing protocols under the existing airborne network have not yet paid attention to the specific content of forwarded information, which makes the network's acquisition of information content inefficient, and it is difficult to achieve efficient transmission of high-value information in the network
