Abstract
A communication network having a plurality of routers, each connected to host systems by LAN networks and interconnected by a switched network uses a shared or common IP and MAC address in the routers. Host systems on the same subnet use the shared or common IP address as their default gateway address when accessing host systems on another subnet.
