Abstract
An example method includes receiving a domain name server (DNS) query initiated by an endpoint device, determining a current port assignment for the endpoint device, changing an allocation of ports for the endpoint device from the current port assignment based on a predicted port allocation need for a current communication session associated with the domain name server query, and performing a network address translation in accordance with the allocation of ports for the endpoint device.
