Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for resolving an addressing conflict between a first processor in a first network and a second processor in a second network. When an addressing conflict is detected between a first address of the first processor and a second address of the second processor, tunnel information is removed from one or more packets received from the first processor. Based on the removed tunnel information, the packets are associated with the detected addressing conflict and a translated address is determined. Based on the translated address, the packets are then forwarded.
