Abstract
An addressing redirection mechanism is initiated at a switch or a router in a computing network in order to enable the switch to perform one or more distributed proxy addressing operations on behalf of a connected router. An address request transmitted from a first host device to a second host device to obtain addressing information of the second host device is received at the switch, and the switch inspects the address request to identify addressing information for the first host device. The switch is configured to forward the addressing information for the first host device to the router.
