Abstract
A network system is provided to route messages within a Network Address Translation (NAT) environment. The network system registers address information of a Private Network System (PNS) with a System Node Master (SNM). The network system locates system nodes of the PNS by issuing a request to the SNM. The network system provides communication between the system nodes and a remote user.
Claims30
A network system comprising:
- a System Node Master (SNM);
- at least one Network Address Translation (NAT) router connected with the SNM;
- and
- at least one Private Network System (PNS), wherein each PNS is connected with each NAT router, wherein each PNS includes a Private Network Master (PNM) and at least one system node, and wherein a requesting party can communicate with the system node by issuing a request to the SNM.
A method within a Network Address Translation (NAT) environment, the method comprising:
- registering address information of a Private Network System (PNS) with a System Node Master (SNM);
- locating a system node of the PNS by issuing a request to the SNM;
- and
- communicating with the system node.
A network system comprising:
- a System Node Master (SNM);
- at least one Network Address Translation (NAT) router connected with the SNM;
- at least one Private Network System (PNS), wherein each PNS is connected with each NAT router;
- means for registering address information of the PNS with the SNM;
- and
- means for communicating with a system node of the PNS by issuing a request to the SNM.
A computer readable medium containing executable instruction which, when executed in the process system, causes the system to perform a method for routing messages within a Network Address Translation (NAT) environment, the method comprising:
- registering address information of a Private Network System (PNS) with a System Node Master (SNM);
- locating a system node of the PNS by issuing a request to the SNM;
- and
- communicating with the system node.
