Abstract
A computer network system for interconnecting nodes using dynamic updates includes a first network device configured to receive an information packet including a destination address for a source node. The first network device includes a first translation table for use in translating the destination address into an address indicator to replace the destination address in the information packet. The computer network system includes a second network device configured to receive the information packet, and to include a second translation table for use in translating the address indicator into the destination address. At least one of the first and second network devices are adapted to dynamically update at least one of first and second translation tables using updated information transferred using the computer network system.
