Abstract
Converting a data packet involves receiving a first data packet. The first data packet has a first header expressed according to a first protocol, where the first header has a first source address and a first destination address. A second header corresponding to the first header is generated. The second header is expressed according to an Internet Protocol, and has a second source address and a second destination address. The second source address corresponds to the first source address, and the second destination address corresponds to the first destination address. The first data packet is converted to a second data packet by replacing the first header with the second header. The second data packet comprising the second header is outputted.
