Abstract
A method and device for translating telecommunication network Internet Protocol addresses by using a leaky-controlled memory. In substance, a hash computer and a memory with locations for the keys (or addresses) to be stored and corresponding locations for the updating date of the key memory location are used in combination. Should a memory address (a(j)) such that KEY=K[a(j)] be not found, a memory address corresponding to an instant and/or to an updating date elder that a certain value is occupied. In the inverse translation process, the selected address (a(j)) is received and the memory is accessed updating again the time information by inserting the current instant and/or date.
