ABSTRACT:
An access network system, an address resolution protocol proxy method and an IP bridging forwarding method for the access network system are disclosed. The access network system comprises: one or more access network edge nodes that connect to one or more access nodes; one or more access nodes that connect to user terminals to the access network, and a reference point that is introduced between two adjacent access nodes for the access nodes interconnection. With this system, the multi-cast or broadcast flow in the network can be reduced and the communication delay and path can also be decreased. Therefore the communication bottleneck brought by BRAS/BNG can be avoided.
