Abstract

See full text

An internetwork routing protocol which supports virtual networks. Routing tables are maintained in routers or gateways which identify whether or not a destination is directly reachable by the router listed in the routing information entry, or whether it is merely part of a virtual network served by the listed destination routers. For directly reachable connections, datagrams may be directly delivered to any router claiming such status with respect to the network with assurance of likely delivery to the destination. Routers in communication with a virtual network must first be queried for the identity of a particular destination router address before packets are delivered to eliminate the need of packet forwarding.
