Abstract: One embodiment provides Subnet administrator (SA) proxy logic to be executed by a computer network node. The SA proxy logic includes provider logic that includes path record information of an associated subnet in communication with the computer network node; and provider interface logic to receive an address resolution request from at least one application that includes partial address information. The provider interface logic is also to determine at least one local port of the computer network node to enable packet routing associated with the address resolution request. The provider logic is also to determine at least one subnet associated with the address resolution request. The provider interface logic is also to determine at least one provider logic to utilize to obtain the path record information for at least one subnet associated with the address resolution request. The provider interface logic is also to generate an address resolution response that includes a resolved address, that includes the path record information, and the identity of at least one local port to enable the at least one application to route data packets through the at least one determined subnet.
