A Service Identifier parsing mechanism for Universal Network based on BHO

Abstract

In Universal Network, SID (Service Identifier) is the unique description for service or resource without any locator messages, which is different from URL (Universal Resource Locator) on the Internet. The SID parsing mechanism plays the most important role in Universal Network. In this paper, we propose a SID Parsing mechanism (SIDP) by making use of BHO plug-in to parse SIDs into corresponding CID (Connection Identifier). By collecting the SIDs required from the Internet Explorer browser in Windows OS, SIDP parses the SIDs into corresponding CIDs so as to access service or obtain resource for users. Experimental results show that SIDP system can easily and accurately parse SID into CID and will efficiently reduce the load of server especially to some popular services and resources.
