Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating communication between multiple private networks with conflicting IP addresses are provided. The system comprises a virtual computing device configured to allocate blocks of shadow IP addresses to first and second private networks. A first bridge device is connected to the first private network and configured to receive a packet from a first host in the first private network. The packet comprises a destination address corresponding to a second host in the second private network. The first bridge device is configured to route the packet to the virtual computing device if the destination address is in a block of shadow IP addresses. A second bridge device is connected to the second private network and configured to receive the packet from the virtual computing device and translate the destination address to a corresponding native IP address.
