Abstract
A method, system and non-transitory computer storage readable medium comprise operating a Wide Area Network (WAN) device according to a first Internet protocol (IP) translation mode of operation, changing an initial connectivity status between the WAN device and a WAN and transitioning from the first IP translation mode of operation to a second IP translation mode of operation that is different from the first IP translation mode of operation based on the change in the initial connectivity status.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- changing an initial connectivity status between a Wide Area Network (WAN) device and a WAN;
- transitioning from a first Internet protocol (IP) translation mode of operation associated with the WAN device to a second IP translation mode of operation that is different from the first IP translation mode of operation;
- wherein transitioning from the first IP translation mode of operation to the second IP translation mode of operation comprises transitioning from a network access translation (NAT) mode of operation to an IP pass-through mode of operation which occurs when WAN connectivity is established.
A device, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- change an initial connectivity status with a Wide Area Network (WAN);
- and
- transition from a first Internet protocol (IP) translation mode of operation associated with the WAN device to a second IP translation mode of operation;
- wherein the transition from the first IP translation mode of operation to the second IP translation mode of operation comprises at least one of a transition from a network access translation (NAT) mode of operation to an IP pass-through mode of operation which occurs when WAN connectivity is established and a transition from an IP pass-through mode of operation to a network access translation (NAT) mode of operation when WAN connectivity is lost.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
- changing an initial connectivity status between a Wide Area Network (WAN) device and a WAN;
- transitioning from a first Internet protocol (IP) translation mode of operation associated with the WAN device to a second IP translation mode of operation that is different from the first IP translation mode of operation;
- wherein transitioning from the first IP translation mode of operation to the second IP translation mode of operation comprises transitioning from a network access translation (NAT) mode of operation to an IP pass-through mode of operation which occurs when WAN connectivity is established.
