Abstract
A method of routing data packets for a router is provided. The router includes a software network address translator (NAT) and a hardware NAT. The method includes routing, by the software NAT, a first data packet based on a routing rule stored in the software NAT, wherein the software NAT has a routing rule removing function to remove the routing rule stored in the software NAT; sending, by the software NAT, the routing rule to the hardware NAT; storing the routing rule, by the hardware NAT, in the hardware NAT; and routing, by the hardware NAT instead of the software NAT, a second data packet based on the routing rule stored in the hardware NAT. The routing rule removing function of the software NAT for the routing rule stored in the software NAT is disabled.
