Abstract
The present disclosure provides a communication node and method for routing data packets for a client device. The communication node includes: one or more processors; a memory coupled to the processors; and computer program instructions stored in the memory, which, when executed by the processors, perform actions of: obtaining, from a downstream communication node, NAT routing information for a data packet communicated between the client device and an external node through at least the communication node and the downstream communication node; and performing NAT on a subsequent data packet to be communicated between the client device and the external node based on the NAT routing information.
