Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided for translating between Internet Protocols (IP's). Initially, data is received over the Internet utilizing a first IP. Such data is adapted for being processed by an application program. Next, it is determined whether the application program can process data received over the Internet utilizing the first IP. If it is determined that the application program can not process data received over the Internet utilizing the first IP, the data is converted from the first IP to a second IP that the application program is capable of processing.
