Abstract

Transferring data by a gateway that is connected to a network with a SIMM-node. In response to a request to establish multi-MAC address routing information of a SIMM-node, multiple MAC addresses are obtained, corresponding to an IP address of the SIMM-node. The multi-MAC address routing information, including information in a route table, an ARP table, and a NEXT_HOP table, is established by adding to the ARP table corresponding relationships of the IP address with the multiple MAC addresses of the SIMM-node. The corresponding relationships of the IP address with the multiple MAC addresses of the SIMM-node is added to the NEXT_HOP table. Routing entries of the SIMM-node are established in the route table. In response to receiving a data message sent to the IP address of the SIMM-node, the message is routed by using the established multi-MAC address routing information of the SIMM-node.
