Abstract

See full text

In accordance with embodiments of the disclosure, a communication network comprising a hub and a plurality of terminals may be provided. In some embodiments, the hub and the terminals may communicate over a wireless medium. A method is presented for allocating IP addresses (e.g., public IP addresses) in the network while achieving very high utilization of IP addresses and maintaining IP connectivity between nodes connected to the terminals and between said nodes and a network connected to the communication network via the hub (e.g., a public network, such as the Internet). In some embodiments, a common IP address (e.g., a public IP address) may be allocated to each of the terminals for their local interfaces, and routing techniques may be used to resolve resulting obstacles.
