Abstract

An address resolution method uniformly processing ARP broadcast packets by an address server to avoid broadcasting in the network, so that the occupied bandwidth is reduced. The method also includes storing by a network device and terminal address correspondence information of local and remote terminals in communication with one another, which reduces the size of the MAC table in the data center network, reduces the load of the network device, and improves the processing capabilities of the network device, so that it is possible to deploy a large layer-2 network to thereby solve real-time relocation problems of a virtual machine.
