Abstract
A system and method for managing next hop addressing where multiple address schemes are provided in messages transmitted via a network. A predefined addressing policy may be applied to an incoming message if the predefined addressing policy includes a policy corresponding to an incoming address scheme of the incoming message. The incoming address scheme is converted to one or more outgoing address schemes provided by a location service in response to a location query. A plurality of outgoing messages is dispatched, each using one of the outgoing address schemes provided by the location service. A default next hop addressing operation is effected when the predetermined addressing policy does not correspond to the incoming address and when none of the multiple outgoing address schemes provides a useful result.
