ABSTRACT:
Network address translation (NAT) translates between globally unique addresses used within a global network and a local network. A method, for example, includes mapping a first set of globally non-routable global addresses to a second set of globally routable global addresses, and forwarding packets in accordance with the mapping. The method may further include assigning the first set of addresses to devices of a local network, and forwarding packets between the devices of the local network and a global network. These techniques may significantly reduce the demand placed on routing devices in a global network.
