ReNAT systems and methods

摘要

Included are embodiments for ReNAT communications address communications. Some embodiments include a network operations center (NOC) that includes a ReNAT twin NAT that translates between a customer-assigned private IP address and a unique private IP (UPIP) address. The NOC may additionally include a ReNAT VPN component coupled to the ReNAT twin NAT, where the ReNAT VPN provides a source IP address to the ReNat twin NAT. The NOC may include logic that when executed by a processor, causes the processor to facilitate communication between a user workstation on a private network and a remote computing device, wherein facilitating communication includes receiving the data from the user workstation via a traditional VPN portal, wherein address translation has been performed by a ReNAT twin NAT client on the user workstation.

主权项

1. A system for providing redundant network address translation (ReNAT) communications, comprising a network operations center (NOC), the NOC comprising:
a computing device that stores logic, including at least the following:
a first virtual private network (VPN) component that initiates a VPN communication with a private network;a ReNAT twin network address translation (NAT) that is coupled to the first VPN component, wherein the ReNAT twin NAT translates between a customer-assigned private IP address and a unique private IP (UPIP) address, wherein the UPIP overlaps with the customer-assigned private IP address and wherein the UPIP is unique within the NOC;a ReNAT VPN component coupled to the ReNAT twin NAT, wherein the ReNAT VPN component provides a source IP address to the ReNat twin NAT; andcommunication logic that causes the system to facilitate communication with a user workstation that includes a VPN client and a ReNAT twin NAT client, wherein, in communicating the data with the private network, the NOC receives data via a VPN portal, wherein address translation has been performed by the ReNAT twin NAT client;wherein the ReNAT twin NAT maps addresses in the data to customer defined private addresses and wherein the ReNAT VPN encrypts the data and transfers the data to the private network.
