“…Wang et al [19] revealed, using an Android application called NetPiculet, that 82 cellular carriers (out of 107 carriers) used NAT, and some of them employ load balancing across different NAT types. Triukose et al [18] showed, using an location-based iOS application, that most of the popular cellular carriers in Australia and Germany were employing NAT. Most of these past work focuses on tackling NAT traversal problem and does not discuss about performance in conjunction with NAT.…”

IPv4 addresses are nearly exhausted worldwide. For some time until IPv6 becomes pervasive as an ultimate solution, deployment of Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) devices becomes necessary, especially in the mobile carriers' networks which anticipate a large and growing number of new users. In this context, we tackle the evaluation of the impact of inserting a CGN device in the network, and in conjunction with the mobile network communication delays. We compare the Connection Establishment Rate (CER) with or without a CGN device, also with or without the emulated mobile network communication delays. Against our anticipation, the types of time-varying mobile network delays do not have a significant impact on CER. The effect of the changing delay fades away in the aggregation of many user traffic at the core part of the network, even though the time-varying mobile network communication delays are individually and separately emulated for each user. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first to study the relationship between the CGN performance and the mobile network's communication delays. The result suggests that modeling the aggregate traffic trend Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.

“…(Note that the contents of this paper does not warrant any internal configuration in any existing mobile carrier's network.) Several past work [14,19,18] have shown some evidences of the deployment of CGNs in mobile networks. In any case, they must hold a massive number of users such as millions, and each of them requires an IP address.…”

“…This was realized using a smartphone application and the test was run in a large number of cellular provider networks, thus also covering Large Scale NATs. [17] analyzes how provider-side LSNs allocate IP addresses based on the geolocation of the devices and [1] evaluates the impact of LSNs for residential broadband users in New Zealand.…”

“…Instead of switching to IPv6, ISPs deploy multiple layers of middleboxes to serve their customers. This is not only true for mobile networks, as shown in [18,17]: approaches such as Dual-Stack Lite [4] use LSN to deploy IPv6 in service provider networks without forcing the customers to switch to IPv6. With the deployment of LSN, many of the previously working NAT-Traversal techniques fail: control-based solutions, such as UPnP, are not applicable as they only control the innermost NAT, the provider's LSN cannot be reached.…”

Middleboxes are an essential part of today's networks since they allow to introduce additional functionality without having to change end-hosts. Network Address Translation (NAT) has been the number one choice for coping with the address depletion problem of IPv4. Although NAT introduces many problems for existing applications it can be found in almost every consumer and mobile network.Large Scale NAT (LSN) is the latest trend in middlebox deployment and plays an important role for the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. LSN may consist of a distributed NAT at the provider or it may include multiple layers of NAT. LSN introduces additional problems for customers since many existing NAT traversal techniques cannot be applied. This paper presents an approach for discovering and measuring stateful cascaded NATs on the path between two arbitrary peers in the Internet. An algorithm combining multiple UDP packets, individual timeouts and traceroute measurements is presented and evaluated in a public field test. Finally, we show how NAT traversal for LSN can be improved by parameterizing existing algorithms according to the detected topology.

One of the important features of Communication System is to find the Location of a Person. Finding the location of Person is either through Internet or through Mobile Devices. Most of the valuable location-based services are enabled by this feature of Location Tracking. There are various Location technologies which can be used and implemented by telecommunication managers and engineers. The technologies are GPS, GPRS, and WiFi with android operating Systems. Location can also be searched without GPS through Internet. The paper briefly discussed GSM network and cellular data networks from point of view of IP Clients, used for finding location of mobile phone. Further, a paper determined the location through IPaddress, through mobile Number, through SMS, through facebook and also through google latitude. Finally the study compares the result that leads to conclusions and key issues for further research.
