Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for efficiently handling layer 3 proxy routing after mobile devices move between subnets includes a controller and one or more ports coupled to the controller. The controller is configured to receive a gateway address request on the one or more ports, determine whether the gateway address request is received on an inter-domain link from a second gateway, determine whether the gateway address request is originated from the second gateway when the gateway address request is received on the inter-domain link, determine a layer 2 address of the second gateway when the gateway address request is not originated from the second gateway, form a gateway address response including the layer 2 address of the second gateway, and transmit the gateway address response on one of the one or more ports.
