Methods, Systems, and Computer Program Products for Identifying a Protocol Address based on Path Information

摘要

Methods and systems are described for identifying a protocol address based on path information. In an aspect, first path information is detected that identifies a first sequence of nodes in a first network path for transmitting data between a first node and a second node in a network. Second path information is detected that identifies a second sequence of nodes in a second network path for transmitting data between the second node and a third node in the network. A first-third protocol address is determined, based on the first path information and the second path information, that identifies, according to a network protocol, the third node to the first node for communicating via the network protocol.
