ABSTRACT:
An apparatus including a protocol stack, the protocol stack including an application layer, a network layer, and a physical layer, wherein the physical layer comprises a hardware interface between the apparatus and a network, wherein network-level tunnelling of a packet from the network layer, the tunnelling creating a packet having a plurality of network layer source addresses and a plurality of network layer destination addresses, takes place in the apparatus below the network layer but above the physical layer, wherein a driver operating in the apparatus below the network layer but above the physical layer effects the network-level tunnelling, and wherein the driver is configured to generate a reply to an ARP packet received from the network layer of the apparatus.
