The industrial Internet realizes intelligent control and optimized operation of the industrial system through network interconnection. The industrial Internet identifier is the core element to accomplish this task. The traditional industrial Internet identifier resolution technologies depend excessively on IP networks, and cannot meet the requirements of ubiquitous resource-restraint Internet of Things (IoT) devices. An industrial Internet identifier resolution management strategy based on multi-identifier network architecture is proposed in this paper, which supports content names, identities, locations, apart from the traditional IP address. The application of multiple types of identifiers not only solves the problem of IP addresses exhaustion, but also enhances the security, credibility, and availability of the industrial Internet identification resolution system. An inter-translation scheme between multiple identifiers is designed to support multiple identifiers and the standard ones. We present an addressing and routing algorithm for identifier resolution to make it convenient to put our strategy into practice.

With the rapid development of the Internet, the expansion of identifiers and data brings a huge challenge to the network system. However, the network resources such as Domain Name System (DNS) are monopolized by a single agency which brings a potential threat to cyberspace. The existing network architecture cannot fundamentally solve the problems of resource monopoly and low performance. Based on the blockchain, this paper designs and implements a new Multi-Identifier System (MIS), providing the analysis and management for different identifiers in the multi-identifier network. Our preliminary emulation results prove the correctness and efficiency of the algorithm. Besides, the prototype system of MIS has been tested on the real operators’ network, realizing the function of co-governing, security supervision and data protection.
