    Abstract: A computer program product includes program instructions configured to be executable by a processor of a networking hardware device to cause the processor to perform various operations. The operations include monitoring network communications on a first port of the networking hardware device to identify a first network address of a first device attached to the first local port and determining that the first network address is incompatible with communication on an external network. The operations further include automatically configuring, in response to determining that the first network address is incompatible with communication on an external network, independent network address translation for the first local port to translate the incompatible first network address to a compatible network address for all egress traffic from the first device and to translate the compatible network address to the incompatible first network address for all ingress traffic to the first device.

    Abstract: A method for converting network packets and a circuit system are provided. The circuit system uses firmware therein to record tables for implementing packet conversion between two types of networks (IPv4 and IPv6). In the method, a process of mapping of address and port using encapsulation (MAP-E) or a process of mapping of address and port using translation (MAP-T) is determined according to IPv4 packets routing requirement to embody an uplink and a downlink packet conversion process. A content table stores an IPv6 packet header after the MAP-E or MAP-T process. A control table is referred to for controlling the fields to be updated when adding the IPv6 packet header. A forwarding mapping rule table is referred to for determining to convert a destination IP address of an uplink IPv6 packet, or both a source IP address and a destination IP address of a downlink IPv4 packet.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods to apply route-map configurations in a computing network. In one implementation, a routing computing system may identify a route for redistribution in a computing network and identify a longest prefix in a radix tree associated with the route. The routing computing system may further identify a highest priority route-map clause associated with the longest prefix match or any parent prefixes of the longest prefix match in the radix tree. Once identified, the computing system may perform an action associated with the highest priority route-map clause.
