Abstract
A method and system for transmitting packets having a first address length on a core network supporting a second address length, where the second address length is larger than the first address length by determining a length of the first address and establishing an offset to the first address such that a combined length of the offset, length of a network prefix for the second address and length of the first address equals the length of the second address. The method and system of the present invention can be implemented as an enhancement to existing network protocols such as IPv4, IPv6 and the like.
