Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an IP packet associated with a first virtual partition defined at a session exchange device. The first virtual partition is associated with a first IP address space. The method also includes receiving an IP packet associated with a second virtual partition defined at the session exchange device. The second virtual partition is associated with a second IP address space having a portion that corresponds with the first IP address space. The IP packet associated with the first virtual partition is modified such that the IP packet associated with the first virtual partition has an IP address value from a third IP address space different from the portion of the second IP address space.
