ABSTRACT:
In a local network connected to other networks which employ an Internet Protocol, and wherein the local network includes nodes which cannot monitor all other nodes in the local network, an Internet Protocol address of a target node in the local network is translated at a gateway node in the local network to a network-specific local address of the target node without the use of broadcasting. The network specific local address of the target node is the address which is usable within the local network for forwarding a packet to the target node.
