Abstract
There is provided a method for network address translation. The method is performed by a gateway. The method comprises acquiring an in-packet Bloom Filter (iBF) representation of a node. The method comprises embedding an indication of the iBF representation in an IP address, thereby enabling translation of the iBF representation of the node to an IP address of the node. There is also presented a gateway configured to perform such a method and a computer program comprising computer program code which, when run on a processing unit of the gateway, causes the processing unit to perform such a method.
