Abstract
A communication network allocates internal Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to wireless communication devices and translates between external IP addresses and the internal IP addresses to transfer data communications between the wireless communication devices and data communication systems. The communication network receives discovery requests for the wireless communication devices and responsively transfers discovery responses describing the IP address allocations and translations for individual wireless communication devices. The communication network receives content delivery footprint data indicating the IP address allocations and translations for the wireless communication devices and transfers the content delivery footprint data to a content distribution network.
