Data packets of a subscriber are addressed for transmission from an
originating device through an IP network to a destination network. A DHCP
request, associated with a first subscriber IP address from the IP
network, is received from the originating device and routed through the
IP network to a destination device in the destination network using an IP
network address of the destination device. The destination device
forwards the DHCP request to a DHCP server. A DHCP response is received
from the DHCP server, through the destination device, including a second
subscriber IP address associated with the destination network. The DHCP
response is sent through the IP network to the originating device using
the first subscriber IP address. The originating device obtains the
second subscriber IP address from the DHCP response and addresses data
packets using the first and second subscriber IP addresses.
