Abstract:
IP reflection comprising double static NAT (network address translation) is disclosed. In some embodiments, a packet having a public IP address is received at a protecting network. The public IP address of the packet is translated to a corresponding protected IP address associated with a protected network, and the packet is forwarded to the protected network for servicing. The protected IP address of a response to the packet from the protected network is translated back to the public IP address at the protected network before sending.
