Abstract
Reservation, request, allocation, assignment and application protocols for conserving addresses requiring unique allocation from a finite address domain. In accordance with the protocols, a set of addresses within the domain are reserved for 'intra-switch only' applications so as to be to allocable to a plurality of organizations for assignment and application in a plurality of switches without introducing addressing ambiguities into networks. Other addresses within the domain not having the 'intra-switch only' restriction are reserved for a single organization so as to be assigned and applied in a single device to avoid introducing addressing ambiguities into networks. The addresses may be MAC addresses.
