  • Extended domain computer network using standard links
    Patent number: 5617421
    Abstract: A method for establishing and maintaining virtual network domains in a segmented computer network having a first domain and a second domain. A first table entry for a first endstation in a first forwarding table of a first switching fabric circuit is created. The first table entry includes domain information specifying that the first endstation is in the first domain and port information specifying that the first endstation is coupled to a first port. A packet having the first endstation as a source is received by the first port of the first switching fabric circuit, and a destination for the packet is determined. If the packet specifies a second endstation of the first domain as the destination, the packet is forwarded to the second endstation. If the destination for the packet specifies more than one endstation, the domain of the source of the packet is determined, and the packet is forwarded to the specified endstations of the first domain.
