Title : MAC-Forced Forwarding: A Method for Traffic
Separation on an Ethernet Access Network

This document describes a mechanism to ensure layer-2 separation of
LAN stations accessing an v4IPv4 gateway over a bridged Ethernet
segment.
The mechanism - called "MAC-Forced Forwarding" - implements an ARP
proxy function that prohibits MAC address resolution between hosts
located within the same IPv4 subnet but at different customer
premises, and in effect directs all upstream traffic to an IPv4
gateway. The IPv4 gateway provides IP-layer connectivity between
these same hosts.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
