Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method is described. The method includes receiving a network communication at a first network device coupled to a first network and a second network, determining whether to forward the network communication into the first network over a logical connection, and, if the network communication is to be forwarded into the first network over the logical connection, forwarding the network communication into the first network over the logical connection. The network communication comprises a first network address in the second network that is associated with a second network device coupled to the second network. The logical connection is associated with a second network address in the second network. The determining is based, at least in part, on a determination, as to whether the first network device and the second network device are coupled to the logical connection, that uses the first network address and the second network address.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving a network communication at a first network device coupled to a first network and a second network, wherein\n the network communication comprises a first network address in the second network that is associated with a second network device coupled to the second network; \n determining whether to forward the network communication into the first network over a logical connection, wherein\n the logical connection is associated with a second network address in the second network, and \n the determining is based, at least in part, on a determination, as to whether the first network device and the second network device are coupled to the logical connection, that uses the first network address and the second network address; and \n if the network communication is to be forwarded into the first network over the logical connection, forwarding the network communication into the first network over the logical connection.
