ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method, system, and program for processing a transmission from a first device to a second device. An identification transmission is received including an interface address from the first device. A determination is made as to whether the identification transmission indicates a recognized vendor identifier. An interface address of a third device is returned to the first device in response to determining that the identification transmission includes one recognized vendor identifier, wherein the third device relays transmissions between the first and second devices.
