Abstract
Embodiments of methods and apparatus for resolving address mapping associated with a wireless mesh network are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Claims29
A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a transmitter, a unicast address resolution protocol (UARP) request from a first communication node to a second communication node via a unicast transmission, the UARP request including a first protocol address associated with a third communication node;
- and
- identifying, by an address resolver, a second protocol address associated with the third communication node at the first communication node based on address-mapping information from the second communication node, the second protocol address corresponding to the first protocol address associated with the third communication node,
- wherein the first communication node comprises a source node, wherein the third communication node comprises a destination node to communicate with the source node, and wherein the second communication node comprises a server node to provide a protocol address associated with the destination node to the source node, and
- wherein at least one of the first, second, or third communication nodes is associated with a wireless communication network.
2 more elements
An article of manufacture having instructions stored thereon that, if executed, cause a machine to:
- transmit a unicast address resolution protocol (UARP) request from a first communication node to a second communication node via a unicast transmission, the UARP request including a first protocol address associated with a third communication node;
- and
- identify a second protocol address associated with the third communication node at the first communication node based on address-mapping information from the second communication node, the second protocol address corresponding to the first protocol address associated with the third communication node,
- wherein the first communication node comprises a source node, wherein the third communication node comprises a destination node to communicate with the source node, and wherein the second communication node comprises a server node to provide a protocol address associated with the destination node to the source node, and
- wherein at least one of the first, second, or third communication node is associated with a wireless communication network.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface to transmit a unicast address resolution protocol (UARP) request from a first communication node to a second communication node via a unicast transmission, the UARP request including a first protocol address associated with a third communication node;
- and
- an address resolver coupled to the communication interface to identify a second protocol address associated with the third communication node at the first communication node based on address-mapping information from the second communication node, the second protocol address corresponding to the first protocol address associated with the third communication node,
- wherein the first communication node comprises a source node, wherein the third communication node comprises a destination node to communicate with the source node, and wherein the second communication node comprises a server node to provide a protocol address associated with the destination node to the source node, and
- wherein at least one of the first, second, or third communication nodes is associated with a wireless communication network.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a flash memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the flash memory to transmit a unicast address resolution protocol (UARP) request from a first communication node to a second communication node via a unicast transmission, and to
- identify a protocol address associated with a third communication node at the first communication node based on address-mapping information from the second communication node,
- wherein the first communication node comprises a source node, wherein the third communication node comprises a destination node to communicate with the source node, and wherein the second communication node comprises a server node to provide a protocol address associated with the destination node to the source node, and
- wherein at least one of the first, second, or third communication nodes is associated with a wireless communication network.
