Abstract

Network router and multi-layer switch configuration is simplified, whereby packet flows are intercepted and identified while passing through, and fast routes are learned and cached on flow-by-flow basis. Simplified approach avoids configuration of network topology and provides plug-and-play installation, without configuring network or improved multi-layer switch.
