Abstract:
Computer connectivity is dependent on network availability. When networks are offline, relocating systems and data to an available network is an inefficient, time consuming, and error prone process. A system and method is disclosed for instant IP sharing and relocation between geographical locations by combining BGP announcement in one or multiple locations and applying stateless NAT to the IP traffic. Thereby, IP traffic is redirected to the desired location and delivered to the final device using the shared/relocated IP address. This system and method allows a single IP address to actively respond to network requests from numerous locations which can be spread around the globe.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for sharing an Internet Protocol (\u201cIP\u201d) address between locations and redirecting IP traffic to at least one desired location, comprising:\n advertising, from a distribution point, a route for the shared IP address to the Internet through an external routing protocol; performing, by the distribution point, a first stateless Network Address Translation (\u201cNAT\u201d) conversion of traffic having the shared IP address as a destination to a local network IP address where a device using the shared IP address is running; performing a second stateless NAT conversion from the local network IP address to the shared IP address, restoring the traffic to its original form, and passing the traffic to a device processing requests using the shared IP address for the traffic, wherein the device processing the requests using the shared IP address responds to an originator of the traffic through a standard network, and the reply is not modified; and coordinating mapping between the shared IP address and at least one local network to create at least one stateless NAT rule in the distribution point and at least one end point to redirect the traffic to the at least one desired location.
