System and method for routing among private addressing domains

摘要

An approach for routing over a radio network (207) is provided. A terminal (205, 209) receives a packet over the radio network (207), which supports meshed connectivity, wherein the packet is destined for a destination host (201). The terminal (205, 209) determines whether the destination host (201) is reachable by a communication interface (1717) based upon a route table, and selectively redirects the packet over the radio network (207) according to the route table. A route server (215) is provided to collect routes from the terminal (205, 209) as well as other terminals (205, 209) within the radio network (207). The route server (215) then disseminates the collect routes to the terminals (205, 209) for updating of their respective route tables. The present invention has particular applicability to a fully meshed satellite network (207).
