A method and apparatus that operates two bridging protocols in a hybrid bridging node (204D) is described. The operation of the two bridging protocols in the hybrid node allows for an incremental transition of a provider bridging network from operating a legacy bridging protocol that shares MAC addresses to a bridging network that operates VPLS and or PBB bridging protocols. The hybrid bridging node selectively broadcasts address resolution packets and unicast packets with unknown MAC addresses from the nodes operating VPLS and or PBB to nodes operating a legacy bridging protocol.

La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un appareil qui fonctionnent dans deux protocoles de pontage dans un nud de pontage hybride (204D). Le fonctionnement des deux protocoles de pontage dans le nud hybride permet à une transition incrémentielle d'un réseau de pontage de fournisseur de fonctionner dans un protocole de pontage légitime qui partage des adresses MAC vers un réseau de pontage qui fonctionne dans des protocoles de pontage de réseau VPLS et/ou PBB. Le nud de pontage hybride diffuse sélectivement des paquets de résolution d'adresse et des paquets d'unidiffusion avec des adresses MAC inconnues entre les nuds fonctionnant dans un réseau VPLS et/ou PBB et les nuds fonctionnant selon un protocole de pontage légitime.
