ABSTRACT:
A method to implement an address pool is described. The method collects at least one address, the at least one address originally assigned as a unique address to at least one physical interface of a computer. Each originally assigned address is modified to be a plurality of modified addresses. The plurality of modified addresses is organized as an address pool. A selected modified address from the pool is assigned as a unique address for the pool. The selected modified address is used in contacting the computer in response to receiving a message addressed to an address of the pool.
