%T ARP-Path: ARP-based, Shortest Path Bridges

%X This letter is a summary proposal for an evolution of
the Ethernet transparent bridge paradigm that provides simple,
shortest path bridging in campus networks. ARP-Path Ethernet
Switches set up an on-demand path between two hosts just
reusing and flooding the standard ARP request frame through all
links and confirming the path reaching to the destination host
with the ARP reply frame. ARP-Path uses the standard Ethernet
frame format, is fully transparent to hosts and does not require
spanning tree or link state protocol. Simulation results show
superior performance to spanning tree and similar to shortest
path routing, with lower complexity. Our implementations
confirm backward compatibility, robustness and performance.
