abstract = "Executing a protocol P, a sending host S decides,
through P's routing mechanism, that it wants to
transmit to a target Host T located somewhere on a
connected piece of 10 Mbit Ethernet cable which
conforms to the IEEE 802.3. To actually transmit the
Ethernet packet a 48-bit Ethernet/hardware address must
be generated. The addresses assigned to hosts within
protocol P are not always compatible with the
corresponding Ethernet address (being different address
space byte orderings or values). A protocol is
presented which allows dynamic distribution of the
information required to build tables that translate a
host's address in protocol P's address space into a 48
bit Ethernet address. An extension is incorporated to
allow such a protocol to be flexible enough to exist in
a Transparent Bridge, or generic Host. The capability
of the Bridge to detect host reboot conditions in a
multi-LAN environment is also discussed, emphasizing
particularly the effect on channel bandwidth. To
illustrate the operation of the protocol mechanisms,
the ARPA Internet Protocol (IP) is used as a benchmark.
An introduction to Address Resolution is presented,
followed by a discussion of a reboot detection
process.",
