IP Routing References 4-11
Forwarding to Nodes within an LIS
Nodes can forward packets directly to other nodes in the same LIS. To
forward a packet within the same LIS, the sending node requests a
translation from the destination IP address to the corresponding ATM
address from the ATM ARP server.
■ If the address is known to the server, the server returns a message with this
address
■ If the address is not known to the server, the server returns a message to
advise the sending node that the packet is discarded.
When the server returns a destination address, the sending node uses this
learned address to create a virtual circuit (VC) and to forward this and all
subsequent packets to the destination address. The sending node adds this
VC to its ATM ARP cache.
