Abstract
A method is described that enables communication between two disjoined networks with overlapping IP address ranges. The method features receiving a first address mapping query message from a first intermediary device and returning a first private IP address map. The first private IP address map includes at least a first plurality of private IP addresses each uniquely assigned to a computing device residing in the first network. In response to a triggering event, recovering a second private IP address map by a second intermediary device. Herein, the second private IP address map includes at least a second plurality of private IP addresses each uniquely assigned to a computing device residing in the second network. Thereafter, the source IP address for a private IP address associated with the computing device is substituted prior to transmission of a message from the first intermediary device to the second intermediary device upon determining that the first network and the second network include overlapping private IP address ranges.
