Abstract
Embodiments for a method of exchanging networking information are provided. The method includes receiving an internet protocol (IP) packet at a first networking device and translating, at the first networking device, the IP packet into a ZOOM packet. The ZOOM packet does not conform to an IP protocol. The ZOOM packet includes a copy of the bits of the data field from the IP packet. The ZOOM packet includes a ZOOM header with a portion of an IP header of the first IP packet with networking information. The method also includes sending the ZOOM packet into a broadcast network. The ZOOM packet is received at a second networking device, and the networking information is extracted from the ZOOM header. The IP packet is then re-created and sent toward a destination of the IP packet.
