ABSTRACT:
A method and system are provided for implementing virtual local area networks (VLANs) over ATM using LAN over ATM emulation technology. Server nodes which provide address registration/resolution and which enable multicast and broadcast routing on each VLAN are interconnected into multiple trees. The root server nodes of each tree are interconnected according to a hypercube topology. Data structures for maintaining the locations and routing information of mobile terminals is provided. Methods for constructing and updating the data structures when a mobile terminal moves from location to another also provided. Methods are also provided for routing packets using the data structures to and from mobile terminals.
