ABSTRACT:
A method in a data processing system for routing a packet to a target data processing system. With the method and apparatus, a global address for the target data processing system is placed in the packet. A hop-by-hop option may then be set in the packet, which contains a media access control address for the final destination. This option causes a router for a subnet on which the target data processing system is located to send the packet to the target data processing system using the media access control address without performing a link level address discovery operation.
