An asymmetric proxy receives a request from a source network, where the source network sends the request at a first networking layer, and determines a destination network associated with the request, where the destination network communicates at a second networking layer, and where the second networking layer is different than the first networking layer. The asymmetric proxy removes information associated with the source network from one or more networking layers of the request, stores the information associated with the source network in a memory space, translates the one or more networking layers of the request to include information associated with the destination network, and provides the request to the destination network at the second networking layer.
