Abstract
A destination Media Access Control (MAC) address of a packet is determined. In response to determining that the destination MAC address is a virtual MAC address and belongs to an access device, mask-based, virtual MAC address, the packet is encapsulated with a Very Large Layer 2 (VLL2) network protocol header, and sent to an access device associated with the access device, mask-based virtual MAC address.
