A method of maintaining communications in a bus bridge interconnect including
a
plurality of buses linked by at least one bus bridge. The method includes receiving
a change indication signal from a talker node, performing an address resolution
protocol in response to the change indication signal to find an updated node identification
address("nodeID") for a listener node using a extended unique identifier ("EUI")
of the listener node, and storing the updated listener nodeID with the listener
node EUI.
