<p>Embodiments of the present invention disclose an address resolution method, apparatus, and system, which are used to solve the following problems: ARP broadcast packets occupy too much bandwidth; the size of the MAC table in the data center network is too large; the device load is high and processing capabilities are insufficient; and the network scale is limited. With the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention, ARP broadcast packets are uniformly processed by an address server and are not broadcast in the network, so that bandwidth occupation is reduced; the network device and terminal only store address correspondence information of local and remote terminals being in communication, which may reduce the size of the MAC table in the data center network, reduce the load of the network device, and improve the processing capabilities of the network device, so that it is possible to deploy a very large scale network, namely, a large layer-2 network; meanwhile, the real-time relocation problem of a virtual machine can be solved.</p> |
