ABSTRACT:
A method in a data network where the data network includes multiple terminal points interconnected by one or more network intermediate devices includes transmitting an invitation message from a first terminal point where the invitation message is broadcast through the data network to the multiple terminal points; in response to the invitation message, sending a reservation response message from a second terminal point where the reservation response message is broadcast through the data network to the multiple terminal points; and receiving the reservation response message at a first network intermediate device. The method further includes in response to the reservation response message, storing in the first network intermediate device for one reservation cycle a static forwarding address entry including the source address of the reservation response message and an identification of the port of the first network intermediate device on which the reservation response message is received.
