Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods of forwarding data over an IP network. The methods may include receiving a packet from a source host connected to the IP network, identifying the IP address of a destination host designated in the packet, determining the location on the IP network where the destination host designated by the packet is connected, without reference to the MAC address specified in the packet, by using location-identification information stored on the IP network, and forwarding the packet to the location on the IP network where the destination host is connected without reference to the MAC address specified in the packet. Also disclosed herein are related network devices implementing such techniques and operations, as well as IP networks which include such network devices.
