Abstract
A method for creating a secure network is provided. The method comprises establishing a controller for a plurality of edge nodes in the network; configuring each edge node to perform a discovery operation to discover Network Address Traversal (NAT) information for any NAT device associated with said edge node; and configuring each edge node to transmit any NAT information discovered through said discovery operation to the controller; and configuring the controller to distribute the NAT information received from the plurality of edge node to each edge node.
