<p>A method for enabling network address translation, NAT, traversal for multi-homed protocols within a communications network. The method comprises receiving an establishment request to establish a multi-homing association from a first interface associated with a client; retrieving from the establishment request, an address for the first interface; and recording the address of the first interface as a primary address for the client. The method further comprises receiving an association request to associate a secondary address with the client; retrieving from the association request, an original address for the second interface; utilising the original address for the second interface to determine a modified address for the second interface; and creating a modified association request by replacing the original address for the second interface with the modified address.</p> |
