Abstract
A network device may receive a packet from a user device; allocate a first port range to the user device; measure a period of time after allocating the first port range; and allocate a second port range to the user device when the measured period of time is equal to a particular period of time. The first port range may be associated with a first Internet Protocol (IP) address.
