Method and apparatus of address resolution in a manhattan grid network

A network node comprising at least one processor coupled with at least one memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the network node to perform operations including:

• receiving a packet including a destination packet address of the packet, the network node being comprised in a first packet network, the destination packet address indicating a terminal of a second packet network, a Manhattan network providing a connection between the first packet network and the second packet network, the terminal accessing the Manhattan network through a Manhattan node;
• obtaining a Manhattan address of the Manhattan node based on a time and the destination packet address;
• and
• sending a Manhattan routing packet addressed to the Manhattan node to the Manhattan network, wherein the Manhattan routing packet includes the packet.

A communication system comprising a network node and a distributed hash table (DHT) node of a Manhattan network, wherein the network node comprises at least one processor coupled with at least one memory storing instructions, and wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the network node to perform operations including:

• receiving a packet including a destination packet address of the packet, the network node being comprised in a first packet network, the destination packet address indicating a terminal of a second packet network, the Manhattan network providing a connection between the first packet network and the second packet network, the terminal accessing the Manhattan network through a Manhattan node;
• obtaining a Manhattan address of the Manhattan node based on a time and the destination packet address;
• and
• sending a Manhattan routing packet addressed to the Manhattan node to the Manhattan network, wherein the Manhattan routing packet includes the packet.
