Address resolution for internet protocol sub-networks in asymmetric wireless networks

摘要

A method for address resolution in a wireless system, with an originating Satellite Interface Terminal (SIT) and a destination Satellite Interface Terminal (SIT2). An Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packet of a source is modified when transmitted to a destination and when returned from the destination to the source. The modification involves substituting the SIT1 address for that of the source in the ARP request packet and substituting the SIT2 address for that of the destination in the ARP reply packet, respectively.
