Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006077173A1] The invention relates to a method for determining the routing direction of Ethernet frames in order to route them to a destination, e.g. a computer, by means of Ethernet switches, according to which a frame is received by a first switch (Sl). The first switch (Sl) determines that the source address of the frames is not a destination address that has been registered in the switch (Sl) for the routing of frames. The source address is registered by the first switch (Sl) as a new destination address (X) for the routing of frames. The first switch (Sl) then communicates the new destination address (X) to a second Ethernet switch (S2, S3) and when the destination address (X) has been received, the second switch (S2, S3) defines a routing direction for the frames to the new destination in the destination address (X).
