Abstract
Techniques described herein can detect sites at which symmetric network address translation (NAT) is employed and can manage network traffic to support data connections to devices at the detected symmetric NAT sites. During a detection stage, multiple network connections can be established with computing devices at a site. IP addresses and port addresses associated with the multiple network connections can be compared in order to detect the use of symmetric NAT. During a policy enforcement stage, sites that employ symmetric NAT can be added to a site list. A control policy can direct traffic for sites on the site list to one or more hubs configured to manage data connections on behalf of devices at symmetric NAT sites.
