Cloud-based network protocol translation data center

摘要

A translation data center (TDC) is described that provides cloud-based network protocol translation services. In an example system, the TDC is coupled to a first public network that includes client devices and operates according to a first network-layer protocol (NLP) and a second public network that includes content providers and operates according to a second NLP. Domain name servers within the first public network are updated to include records that resolve respective domain names for each of a plurality of content providers of the second public network to different, globally-routable network destination addresses assigned to the TDC. The TDC receives packets from the first network, transforms the packets from the first NLP to the second NLP and replaces network-layer destination addresses of the TDC with the network-layer destination addresses for the content providers.
