ABSTRACT:
Provided is a computer implemented method, system, and program for enabling communication between a first network device that communicates using a first address format and a second network device that communicates using a second address format. A frame from the first network device directed toward the second network device is received. A determination is made as to whether one address in the second address format is available to communicate with the second network device. A correspondence is defined between the first network device address in the first address format and the determined address in the second address format if one address in the second address format is available, wherein the determined address is used to represent the first network device to the second network device.
