Application: Supporting overlapping network addresses universally (Patent ID: US20240056388A1)
The patent filed by Palo Alto Networks Inc. discloses techniques for supporting overlapping network addresses universally by generating at least two virtual routers for a cloud security service. These virtual routers, including a first and second router, are used to route cloud security service packets and enterprise subscriber packets separately. The system ensures proper routing and management of network traffic in scenarios where a cloud security service provider and an enterprise subscriber have overlapping IP address spaces, such as RFC 6598 or RFC 1918 IP addresses. By dedicating specific virtual routers for each entity and utilizing routing tables effectively, the system guarantees efficient and secure packet routing for both the cloud security service and the enterprise subscriber.
The disclosed system also includes features like policy-based forwarding rules for symmetric return of Internet-bound traffic, dedicated virtual routers with specific routing tables for each entity's IP address space, and routing mechanisms for traffic originating from clients associated with enterprise subscribers. By implementing these techniques, the system ensures proper segregation and routing of network traffic, especially in cases where overlapping IP address spaces exist between the cloud security service provider and the enterprise subscriber. Additionally, the system includes a computer program product with instructions for generating virtual routers, routing packets, and ensuring proper handling of network traffic for both entities.
