METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADDRESS RESOLUTION

摘要

Embodiments of the invention generally relate to address resolution in a wireless communication system. The access node may locally determine, responsive to receiving a second-layer network address associated with a destination communication device from a source communication device in the wireless communication system, a first-layer network address of the destination communication device from the second-layer network address. The access node may send, responsive to the first-layer network address being unavailable, a request for the first-layer network address to an address resolution server in the wireless communication system. In this way, the time and resources for address resolution may be saved, and the efficiency of the address resolution may be improved.
