Abstract

In some implementations, a computer-implemented method comprises: establishing, by a proxy server configured in a first public network, a communications connection between the proxy server and a destination host configured in a second public network; wherein the communications connection established between the proxy server and the destination host comprises two or more sub-connections established between two or more network devices configured in a private network; wherein the proxy server configured in the first public network is agnostic of NATs of two or more network addresses of the network devices configured in the private network; wherein the network device, configured in the first public network, establishes the communications connection from the network device and the destination host via the network devices configured in the private network without acquiring information about the NATs of the network addresses of the network devices configured in the private network.

Dependent claims

A network device comprising:

one or more computer processors;
storage media;
and
instructions stored in the storage media that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform:
establishing, by the network device configured in a first public network, a communications connection between the network device and a destination host configured in a second public network;
wherein the communications connection established between the network device and the destination host comprises two or more sub-connections established between two or more network devices configured in a private network;
wherein the network device configured in the first public network is agnostic of network address translations of two or more network addresses of the two or more network devices configured in the private network,
wherein the two or more network devices comprise a gateway device that is configured to handle the network address translations for the two or more network devices configured in the private network, and
wherein the two or more network devices further comprise a residential endpoint device, and the two or more sub-connections comprise:
a first sub-connection between the network device configured in the first public network and the gateway device;
a second sub-connection between the gateway device and the residential endpoint device;
and
a third sub-connection between the residential endpoint device and the destination host.

and
a third sub-connection between the residential endpoint device and the destination host.

6 more elements

A computer-readable non-transitory storage media storing one or more computer instructions which, when executed by one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform:

establishing, by a network device configured in a first public network, a communications connection between the network device and a destination host configured in a second public network;
wherein the communications connection established between the network device and the destination host comprises two or more sub-connections established between two or more network devices configured in a private network;
wherein the network device configured in the first public network is agnostic of network address translations of two or more network addresses of the two or more network devices configured in the private network,
wherein the two or more network devices comprise a gateway device that is configured to handle the network address translations for the two or more network devices configured in the private network, and
wherein the two or more network devices further comprise a residential endpoint device, and the two or more sub-connections comprise:
a first sub-connection between the network device configured in the first public network and the gateway device;
a second sub-connection between the gateway device and the residential endpoint device;
and
a third sub-connection between the residential endpoint device and the destination host.
