Abstract
A protocol such as OpenFlow providing communication between an SDN framework controller on one network and a data plane device for another network can be used to modify or process network packets so that an external application or server can communicate with the controller and obtain information needed to uniquely associate the packets with particular end-stations even after those packets have traversed a NAT router.
