  • Patent number: 11917523
    Abstract: A polymorphic network control system and a polymorphic network control system method supporting terminal mobile access. A network architecture is redesigned based on the idea of separation of an identifier from a locator. In this network mode, the three-layer protocol is no longer a traditional IP message, but a message carrying a locator and an identifier. The polymorphic SDN network controller is responsible for forwarding the data packet to a destination corresponding to a destination locator. When the network location of a mobile device is changed, the transmission connection established based on the identifier will suspend communication due to the disconnection of the physical link. When the mobile device is re-accessed and a new forwarding path is established, the transmission connection can recover communication.
