The Address Translation group contains one table, which is the union across all interfaces of the

translation tables for converting a network address (for example, an IP address) into a

subnetwork-specific address. This document refers to such a subnetwork-specific address as a

physical address.

For example, for broadcast media, where ARP is in use, the translation table is equivalent to the

ARP cache; on an X.25 network, where non-algorithmic translation to X.121 addresses is required,

the translation table contains the network address to X.121 address equivalences.

The Address Translation tables contain the network address to physical address equivalences.

Some interfaces do not use translation tables for determining address equivalences (for example,

DDN-X.25 has an algorithmic method); if all interfaces are of this type, then the Address Translation

table is empty.
