Abstract
A method of addressing a data packet includes receiving the data packet and creating a packet header for the data packet. The method also includes providing routing information in a community string format in the packet header and communicating the packet header and data packet to a gateway, wherein the gateway is operable to forward the data packet to a destination uniquely defined by the routing information.
