<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correctly process fragmented packets in instances where address translation is carried out in a configuration with multiple internetwork devices operating simultaneously. <P>SOLUTION: An internetwork device includes a receiving module, an inter-device packet transfer interface, an inter-device packet transfer controller, an address translation module and a transmission module. The receiving module receives a packet from a first network. The inter-device packet transfer interface carries out inter-device packet transfer involving transfer of a packet to or from another internetwork device. The inter-device packet transfer controller controls the inter-device packet transfers such that multiple fragmented packets created from a same original packet are collected by the same internetwork device. The address translation module mutually translates a local address and a global address for at least one of a transmission source address and a transmission destination address of a packet. The transmission module transmits an address-translated packet to a second network. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
