Addressing private IPv4 exhaustion with AWS Cloud WAN service insertion

Networking & Content Delivery Blog



This article discusses how to address private IPv4 exhaustion using AWS Cloud WAN and service insertion, providing a strategic approach to maximizing IP address usage and reducing network complexity.

  • Uses the RFC 6598 CGN range (100.64.0.0/10) as an AWS-internal routable IP domain
  • Centralizes NAT Gateways and PrivateLink to optimize IP space utilization
  • Implements a multi-segment approach with Production, Hybrid, Inbound, and Outbound Network Function Group segments
  • Enables routing between AWS routable and company-wide routable IP domains
  • Provides centralized traffic translation and routing without multiple VPC-level NAT gateways

The solution offers a scalable method for managing private IPv4 addresses in AWS environments, reducing IP allocation challenges and improving network efficiency.
