Two Translation Designs - Pat. Pend.

a.b.0.0-a.b.15.255

translates to

x.y.a.b/0,0-x.y.a.b/15,255

x.y.a.b

translates to

m.n.o.p

a.b.16.0-a.b.31.255

translates to

x.y.a.b/16,0-x.y.a.b/31,255

a.b.240.0-a.b.255.255

translates to

x.y.a.b/240,0-x.y.a.b/255,255

...

Using current technology, a two

step system can translate for

64,000 addresses using 17 computers

a.b.*.*

m.n.o.p/0-65535

Input is examined using

‘promiscuous mode’ and

a translation table is used

to associate each internal

address to an external

address/port number

Using a single system, the

same translation can be

done in software or with

custom hardware if very

high speed is desired
