Systems and methods for virtualizing customer-premises equipment

摘要

A computer-implemented method for virtualizing customer-premises equipment may include (1) receiving, at a service provider's network, at least one flow of network traffic from a remote device included in a user's private network, (2) identifying, within the flow of network traffic, at least one potentially non-unique private address that represents the remote device with respect to the user's private network, (3) determining at least one unique routable address that represents the remote device with respect to the service provider's network based at least in part on a network interface assigned to the user's private network and the potentially non-unique private address, and then (4) translating the potentially non-unique private address to the unique routable address to facilitate routing return network traffic to the remote device in connection with the flow of network traffic. Various other systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

1. A computer-implemented method for virtualizing customer-premises equipment, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
receiving, at a service provider's network, at least one flow of network traffic from a remote device included in a user's private network; identifying, within the flow of network traffic, at least one potentially non-unique private address that represents the remote device with respect to the user's private network; determining, based at least in part on a network interface assigned to the user's private network and the potentially non-unique private address, at least one unique routable address that represents the remote device with respect to the service provider's network; in response to determining the unique routable address, translating the potentially non-unique private address to the unique routable address to facilitate routing return network traffic to the remote device in connection with the flow of network traffic.
