Abstract
The invention is directed to methods and systems for managing internet protocol (IP) addresses. In particular, the invention provides an approach to reuse IP address among multiple devices by combining the IP address and a unique code. By including a unique code, each mobile device using the same IP address is still easily identified. Further, the invention allows for reusing IP addresses within a single telecommunications sector such that devices in the same area may use the same IP address.
