Abstract:
A network device may comprise storage media configured to store traffic, instructions for a lookup engine, a map manager, a traffic forwarder, and a map. The map may comprise rules associating IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The traffic forwarder may be configured to forward outbound traffic to the second device. The lookup engine may comprise instructions to cause the processor to check the map to determine whether the map comprises a rule associating the second address of the second device and the first address of the first device. If so, the instructions may cause the processor to forward the inbound traffic from the second device to the first device. If the map does not comprise this rule, the instructions may cause the processor to send a query to a second network device asking whether the second network device comprises a rule associating the first and second address.
