Abstract: In an example embodiment, a method is provided that assigns a sequence value to a host. The host is identified by a host network layer address. After the assignment, the host network layer address and the sequence value are included in an advertisement for transmission. In another example embodiment, another method is provided. Here, a first sequence value associated with the host network layer address is received from a network device. In addition, a second sequence value associated with the same host network layer address is received from a different network device. The first sequence value is ranked relative to the second sequence value and data is transmitted to the network device based on the ranking.

Abstract translation: 在示例实施例中，提供了向主机分配序列值的方法。 主机由主机网络层地址标识。 在分配之后，主机网络层地址和序列值被包括在用于传输的广告中。 在另一示例实施例中，提供了另一种方法。 这里，从网络设备接收与主机网络层地址相关联的第一序列值。 此外，从不同的网络设备接收与相同主机网络层地址相关联的第二序列值。 第一序列值相对于第二序列值排序，并且基于排名将数据发送到网络设备。
