A geographical identification forwarding method for area-oriented addressing. The geographic location information is used as a transmission identification, and the communication process based on the geographical identification is realized by constructing the SDN-based geographical identification transmission architecture. In this method, a geographical identification is used instead of a traditional IP identification for network transmission, which effectively alleviates the problem of narrow waist of IP single bearing in the current network. At the same time, through a flow table decomposition design, the flow table size of the switch is effectively controlled. The method provided by the present invention can be extended to a plurality of geographical identification areas to realize large-area real-time cross-domain transmission. The method is simple to operate, easy to realize and high in real-time; the method has a wide application range, and can be used to build new networks and improve network performance.
