Abstract: Frame contained destination information may be used by a switch to identify an appropriate output port for a given frame without performing a table access operation. This reduces the processing requirements of the switch to enable the switch to handle frames more efficiently. The frame contained destination information may be contained in the frame's local destination MAC addresses (DA) such that a portion of the DA directly indicates, for each switch that handles the frame, an output port for that switch. Different portions of the DA may be used by different switches, depending on where they are in the network hierarchy. Large switches may also use sub-fields within their allocated portion in the DA to identify internal switching components. A location resolution server may be provided to store and distribute IP and MAC addresses and respond to local ARP requests on the local domain.

Abstract translation: 可以由交换机使用帧包含的目的地信息来识别给定帧的适当输出端口，而不执行表访问操作。 这减少了开关的处理要求，使开关更有效地处理框架。 帧的目的地信息可以包含在帧的本地目的地MAC地址（DA）中，使得DA的一部分对于处理帧的每个交换机直接指示用于该交换机的输出端口。 取决于它们在网络层次中的位置，DA的不同部分可以被不同的交换机使用。 大型交换机也可以使用它们在DA中分配的部分内的子场来识别内部交换组件。 可以提供位置解析服务器来存储和分发IP和MAC地址并响应本地域上的本地ARP请求。
