For allowing a very efficient use of available port space without requesting clients to interrupt ongoing sessions a method for operating a network, particularly an IP (Internet Protocol) network or mobile network is disclosed, wherein a network address and at least one port range associated to the network address and including ports or port numbers are assigned to a client by an address and/or port range manager. The method is characterized in that one or more port ranges will be marked by the manager with an attribute that signals to the client not to allocate any more ports or port numbers in marked port ranges. Further, a network is described, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method. |
