Abstract
Systems and methods for ensuring that control protocols can be used between Media Gatewaysand Media Gateway Controllersthat reside on separate IP networks. Network Address Translation (NAT) is strategically implemented to inspect and translate control protocol messages exchanged between nodes on separate IP networks. One method is to add NAT intelligence to a firewall/routergiving it the ability to inspect and translate the IP addresses within control protocol messages. Another method is to have a firewall/routerforward control protocol messages to a separate NAT serverto inspect and translate the IP addresses within control protocol messages. The former implementation places a significant amount of real-time work on the firewall/router which can affect its performance in its core duties. The latter implementation does not affect performance but requires deploying additional hardware.
