  • Port chunk allocation in network address translation
    Patent number: 11128599
    Abstract: A system and method for providing network and port address translation is provided. A global IP address and a block (chunk) of ports are allocated for each mobile subscriber (MS) on first data connection. Subsequent data connections from the same MS are assigned the same IP address and a new port from this block. The mapping information is communicated, processed, and stored once for the complete block, instead of for every new data connection. This process reduces processing, communication, and storage requirements.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 22, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 21, 2021
    Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Prakash Babu, Jed Kaplan, Christopher J. Skowronek, Janakiraman Senthilnathan, Arun Seshadri, Rajamathangi Subramanian
