Abstract
An IP subnet sharing technique is described which allows multiple network devices of an access network to share an IP subnet without the need for each network device to run complex routing protocols, or bridging protocols. Further, the multiple network devices are able to share an IP subnet without the need to subdivide the IP subnet into smaller groups.
