ABSTRACT:
A computer system for interconnecting nodes in a virtual network includes a first network device configured to receive an information packet including a destination address and a virtual network identifier from a source node. The first network device includes a first translation table for use in translating the destination address and the virtual network identifier into an address indicator which is used in the computer network system to replace the destination address in the information packet and to denote a destination node specified by the destination address. The computer network system includes a second network device configured to receive the information packet including the address indicator. The second network device includes a second translation table for use in translating the address indicator into the destination address and the virtual network identifier.
