Application routing infrastructure for private-level redirect trapping and creation of nat mapping to work with connectivity in cloud and customer networks

Abstract

A computer program product, system, and computer implemented method for application-level redirect trapping and creation of NAT mapping to work with routing infrastructure for private connectivity in cloud and customer networks. The approach disclosed herein generally comprises a method of leveraging a reverse connection endpoint and IP address mapping controller to capture redirection messages from a private cloud or network (e.g., a service consumer network or a service consumer hybrid cloud). This allows at least the IP address mapping controller to manage a cloud networking infrastructure to provide for a service provider network (e.g., a public cloud) to support applications that overcome the isolation requirements of a private cloud or network to perform useful work. For example, without saddling the private cloud or network user with a heavy pre-configuration burden, the approach disclosed herein supports redirection to dynamically determined IP addresses at the private cloud or network.
