Internal substitution bi-level addressing for compatible public networks
First Claim
1. A method for addressing and routing communications traffic, comprising:
- receiving, at an ingress capable network device of a network, an original signal comprising an embedded destination service address;
querying a database server to obtain an internal routing address corresponding to the embedded destination service address, wherein the internal routing address is paired at the database server with a destination compatible network identifying code corresponding to the embedded destination service address; and
routing a transit signal corresponding to the original signal and including at least the embedded destination service address through the network to an egress capable network device of the network according to the internal routing address, enabling the egress capable network device to restore the embedded destination service address and to forward the transit signal from the network.

Abstract
Communications traffic in a network is addressed. An original signal comprising an embedded destination service address is receiving at an ingress capable network device of the network. A database server is queried to obtain an internal routing address corresponding to the embedded destination service address. A transit signal corresponding to the original signal and including at least the embedded destination service address is routed through the network to an egress capable network device of the network according to the internal routing address. The transit signal enables the egress capable network device to restore the embedded destination service address and to forward the transit signal from the network.

8. A method for addressing and routing communications traffic, comprising:
-
receiving, at an ingress capable network device of a network, an original signal comprising a destination address identifier corresponding to a destination service address for an address external to the network; providing the destination address identifier to a database server and receiving an internal routing address, corresponding to the destination address identifier, for an address internal to the network, wherein the internal routing address is paired at the database server with a destination compatible network identifying code corresponding to the destination address identifier; substituting the destination address identifier with the internal routing address in a transit signal; and routing the transit signal through the network to an egress capable network device based on the internal routing address, enabling the egress capable network device to restore the destination address identifier and to forward the transit signal from the network based on the restored destination address identifier. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An ingress capable device of a communications network, comprising:
-
a receiver that receives an original signal comprising an embedded destination service address; a processor that generates a query to a database server to obtain an internal routing address corresponding to the embedded destination service address, wherein the internal routing address is paired at the database server with a destination compatible network identifying code corresponding to the embedded destination service address; and a router that routes a transit signal corresponding to the original signal and including at least the embedded destination service address through the network to an egress capable network device of the network according to the internal routing address, enabling the egress capable network device to restore the embedded destination service address and to forward the transit signal from the network. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
