ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for efficiently supporting multiple VLAN's over an emulated LAN having a plurality of distributed LAN emulation servers. Each distributed LAN emulation server in an emulated LAN has a list of VLAN's that are reachable over each of its preestablished output connections. Each distributed LAN emulation server in the emulated LAN also has a predetermined threshold value for determining the most efficient utilization of its preestablished output connections.
