    • A method and apparatus for providing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) over a connectionless network connecting a plurality of Local Area Networks (LANs), such as an Ethernet network, is disclosed. The method and apparatus comprises associated each VPN with a unique identifier and each LAN of the VPN with a interface device connecting the LAN to the connectionless network, which may be for example, a Synchronous Optical Network (SONET). The interface device may service a plurality of LANs. Accordingly, each LAN is associated with a User-Network Interface that forms part of the interface device. Each data packet destined for a second LAN, such Ethernet frames, received by the interface device for a first LAN is encapsulated with, if known, a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the interface device connected to the second LAN, the VPN's unique identifier, and the port on the interface device connected to the second LAN. Additionally, the corresponding MAC and port address of the first interface device is also used to encapsulate the Ethernet frames. If the MAC and port address is not known (i.e., it is not stored in a database on the first interface device), the first interface device multicasts an encapsulated Ethernet packet to the entire VPN. The first interface device maintains (i.e., updates and appends) its database of MAC and port addresses in response to encapsulated data frames received by the first interface device.
    • 公开了一种通过连接多个局域网(LAN)(例如以太网)的无连接网络提供虚拟专用网(VPN)的方法和装置。 所述方法和装置包括具有唯一标识符的相关联的每个VPN和所述VPN的每个LAN,以及将LAN连接到无连接网络的接口设备,所述无连接网络可以是例如同步光网络(SONET)。 接口设备可以服务于多个LAN。 因此,每个LAN与形成接口设备的一部分的用户 - 网络接口相关联。 如果已知的话,由接口设备接收的用于第一LAN的第二LAN的每个数据分组(例如以太网帧)被封装,连接到第二LAN的接口设备的媒体访问控制(MAC)地址,VPN的唯一 标识符和连接到第二LAN的接口设备上的端口。 此外,第一接口设备的相应MAC和端口地址也用于封装以太网帧。 如果MAC和端口地址不知道(即它不存储在第一接口设备上的数据库中),则第一接口设备将封装的以太网分组多播到整个VPN。 响应于由第一接口设备接收到的封装数据帧,第一接口设备维护(即更新和追加)其数据库的MAC和端口地址。
