Zusammenfassung:	As switching device forwards frames through a fabric using high performance routing protocols without requiring changes in receiving and transmitting Ethernet end stations communicating through the fabric. Each frame received by an edge point of a high performance fabric is modified to support a high performance routing protocol while the frame is within the fabric and is restored to its original format when leaving the fabric. Within the fabric, virtual L2 addressing, assigned and maintained by the fabric, is applied to the frame to accommodate the high performance routing.
