Abstract
The invention can enable routers in a region to share information about nodes on foreign sub-networks. The information includes the nodes' and routers' respective network layer addresses. Upon receiving a message addressed to one of the nodes, a router can tunnel the message to a router on the node's foreign sub-network for subsequent de-tunneling and delivery to the node.
