Abstract
Broadcast based Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a major challenge for deploying Ethernet in Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN). This paper proposes to enable Cache effect on Forwarding Table (CFT) in Metro Ethernet. CFT can reduce numerous broadcast messages by solving the address through cached entries. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can significantly decrease communication messages for address resolution in Metro Ethernet.
