ABSTRACT:
Systems, apparatus, and procedures to automatically manage network device routes in a private network are described. In one aspect, a gateway device is operatively coupled to one or more computing devices in the private network. A request for a network address is received from a particular device in the private network. Responsive to receiving the request, a candidate network address is identified. The candidate network address is then evaluated to determine if it is represented in any mapping of an external port on the gateway device to any of the computing devices in the private network. Responsive to determining that the candidate network address is not mapped to any of the computing devices, the candidate network address is mapped to the particular device. These operations automatically create a communication path from the gateway device to the particular device.
