Abstract:
A method and device for addressing between a first device on a first network and a second device on a second network using a network bridging device, the first and second networks being physically different networks. The method includes discovering the first device on the first network, creating a virtual endpoint for the first device, storing the created virtual endpoint in a network translation table, detecting, in the network bridging device, a communication packet sent from the second network, determining if an endpoint identified in the communication packet is stored as a virtual endpoint in the network translation table, and, if so, identifying an address of the device on the second network associated with the virtual endpoint stored in the network address translation table, and transmitting the communication packet to the device address on the second network.
