Abstract
A method for establishing a communication sessions based on a Network Address Translation (NAT) device is provided. The method comprises configuring the NAT device with policy to control the creation of NAT translation entries to support communications between devices residing behind the NAT device, and devices residing outside the NAT device; wherein said policy allows the NAT device to establish multiple communications sessions, each with a dynamic NAT traversal behavior; and configuring the NAT device to maintain a control plane session with an orchestrator device whereby the NAT device learns parameters required to establish a translation entry for each communications session.
