  • Media access control (MAC) address summation in Datacenter Ethernet networking
    Patent number: 9237098
    Abstract: Techniques are presented to summarize the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses behind a single edge port so that the Datacenter Ethernet edge devices do not learn the MAC addresses of individual end hosts connected to the Datacenter Ethernet network. At a line card of an Ethernet networking device connected to a DCE network, information is generated that summarizes Media Access Control (MAC) addresses of remote hosts reachable through a Datacenter Ethernet networking device of the Datacenter Ethernet network. A packet is received at the Ethernet networking device, wherein the packet is directed to one of the remote hosts. The packet is forwarded to one of the remote hosts using the information summarizing the MAC addresses of the remote hosts.
