Address resolution in an unnumbered, pseudo-point-to-point network utilizes address transmissions, such as an address advertisement or an address response, in order to obtain address information for use in frame addressing. In one embodiment, routers communicate using a multi-access data link layer protocol, such as Ethernet, but in a physical configuration which restricts data link layer communications to going between only two nodes, thereby negating the multi-access application of the protocol. With only one possible terminal node, address space is conserved by use of unnumbered network interfaces.
