Abstract
An apparatus for communication routing may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive a packet. In this regard, the packet may include an address of a sending entity. The processor may also be configured to identify the packet as a qualified packet and store a local gateway table entry in a local gateway table to thereby identify a local gateway relationship in response to identifying the qualified packet. In this regard, the local gateway table entry may include the address of the sending entity. The processor may also be configured to update a routing table based on the local gateway table entry. Associated methods and computer program products may also be provided.

A method comprising:
- receiving a packet, the packet including an address of a sending entity;
- identifying the packet as a qualified packet;
- storing a local gateway table entry in a local gateway table to thereby identify a local gateway relationship in response to identifying the qualified packet, the local gateway table entry including the address of the sending entity;
- providing for transmission of the local gateway table;
- and
- updating a routing table based on the local gateway table entry.
An apparatus comprising a processor, the processor configured to:
- receive a packet, the packet including an address of a sending entity;
- identify the packet as a qualified packet;
- store a local gateway table entry in a local gateway table to thereby identify a local gateway relationship in response to identifying the qualified packet, the local gateway table entry including the address of the sending entity;
- provide for transmission of the local gateway table;
- and
- update a routing table based on the local gateway table entry.
A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having executable computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- a first program code portion configured to receive a packet, the packet including an address of a sending entity;
- a second program code portion configured to identify the packet as a qualified packet;
- a third program code portion configured to store a local gateway table entry in a local gateway table to thereby identify a local gateway relationship in response to identifying the qualified packet, the local gateway table entry including the address of the sending entity;
- a fourth program code portion configured to provide for transmission of the local gateway table;
- and
- a fifth program code portion being configured to update a routing table based on the local gateway table entry.
