Systems and methods are described for IP Address allocation. A computerized method includes receiving at a wireless access gateway a request from a subscriber to connect to a network, allocating a first IP address to the subscriber from a first pool of IP addresses at the wireless access gateway, and assigning a second IP address to the subscriber from a second pool of IP addresses at the wireless access gateway when the subscriber requests a network service.

IP address allocation

Described herein are techniques for providing carrier grade dynamic network address translation (NAT). The disclosed techniques allow for dynamic switching from regular NAT to network address ports translation (NAPT) based on system load. Under the NAPT mode, the disclosed techniques allow the ports of a public IP address to be broken up into contiguous blocks of ports (e.g., of the same size and/or of varying size) such that each block can be assigned to an associated (e.g., different) private IP address. For each new connection from the private IP address, if the port used is the next port sequentially, the NAT device can store an offset from the starting public/private IP address ports. If the port is not the next port sequentially, the network address translation device can associate a new block of public ports to the private IP address.

Carrier grade NAT

Systems and methods are described for providing application and content awareness for self-optimizing networks. A computerized method includes receiving at a mobile gateway a session request from a mobile device, establishing a session between the mobile device and the mobile gateway, receiving a request from the mobile device at the mobile gateway to access a remote resource, establishing a connection between the mobile device and the remote resource via the mobile gateway, detecting application and content information of a service data flow of the connection, and sending the application and content information of the service data flow to a network server for network optimization.

Application and content awareness for self optimizing networks

A computing system for processing network traffic includes a plurality of network ports configured to receive network traffic, a plurality of processing blades, not directly coupled with the plurality of network ports, configured to process the network traffic, a switch coupled with the plurality of processing blades and configured to support inter-blade communications among the plurality of processing blades, a router coupled with the switch and the plurality of network ports, the router configured to forward the network traffic to one or more of the plurality of processing blades based on resource information of the plurality of the processing blades, and a system controller coupled to the router and the plurality of processing blades, the system controller configured to receive and maintain the resource information from the plurality of the processing blades and further configured to update the router with the resource information of the plurality of the processing blades.
