Abstract:
An address acquiring method includes receiving an address resolution request packet sent by a source host, where the address resolution request packet includes an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a destination host; determining another network virtualization edge (NVE) device, where the another NVE device stores a correspondence between the IP address of the destination host and a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the destination host and a correspondence between the IP address of the destination host and an IP address of a destination NVE device corresponding to the destination host; obtaining the MAC address of the destination host and the IP address of the destination NVE device corresponding to the destination host from the another NVE device according to the IP address of the destination host. The technical solutions provided in the present disclosure are intended to reduce processing pressure on a physical network.
