A method is described that enables communication between two disjoined networks with overlapping IP address ranges. The method features receiving a first address mapping query message from a first intermediary device and returning a first private IP address map. The first private IP address map includes at least a first plurality of private IP addresses each uniquely assigned to a computing device residing in the first network. In response to a triggering event, recovering a second private IP address map by a second intermediary device. Herein, the second private IP address map includes at least a second plurality of private IP addresses each uniquely assigned to a computing device residing in the second network. Thereafter, the source IP address for a private IP address associated with the computing device is substituted prior to transmission of a message from the first intermediary device to the second intermediary device upon determining that the first network and the second network include overlapping private IP address ranges.

System and method for enabling communication between networks with overlapping IP address ranges

A method is described that enables communication between two disjoined networks with overlapping IP address ranges. An intermediary function in each of the networks and a unique IP address pool are deployed to facilitate the communication. This method also enables communications between one network with a group of networks with overlapping IP address ranges.
