Field
NAPT mode
Description
NAPT is a special case of NAT, where many IP numbers are hidden
behind a number of addresses. But in contrast to the original NAT, this
does not mean there can be only that number of connections at a time.
In NAPT mode, an almost arbitrary number of connections is multiplexed
using TCP port information. The number of simultaneous connections is
limited by the number of addresses multiplied by the number of available
TCP ports.
