可缩放位址解析之技术;SCALABLE ADDRESS RESOLUTION

摘要

一实施例提供利用一电脑网路节点而执行之子网路管理者(SA)代理逻辑。该SA代理逻辑包含提供者逻辑，其包含与该电脑网路节点通讯之一相关联子网路之路径记录资讯；以及提供者介面逻辑，其用以自包含部份位址资讯之至少一应用程式而接收一位址解析要求。该提供者介面逻辑也决定该电脑网路节点之至少一局域埠以致能与该位址解析要求相关联的封包路由安排。该提供者逻辑也决定与该位址解析要求相关联之至少一子网路。该提供者介面逻辑也决定至少一提供者逻辑以采用而得到对于与该位址解析要求相关联之至少一子网路的路径记录资讯。该提供者介面逻辑也产生一解析位址之一位址解析响应，该解析位址包含该路径记录资讯，以及至少一局域埠之识别以致能该至少一应用程式而路由安排资料封包经由该至少一决定的子网路。; and provider interface logic to receive an address resolution request from at least one application that includes partial address information. The provider interface logic is also to determine at least one local port of the computer network node to enable packet routing associated with the address resolution request. The provider logic is also to determine at least one subnet associated with the address resolution request. The provider interface logic is also to determine at least one provider logic to utilize to obtain the path record information for at least one subnet associated with the address resolution request. The provider interface logic is also to generate an address resolution response that includes a resolved address, that includes the path record information, and the identity of at least one local port to enable the at least one application to route data packets through the at least one determined subnet.
