  • Page 125: Appendix A : Network Address Translation

    Appendix A : Network Address Translation Network Address Translation (NAT) translates the IP address a network (LAN) to a different IP address known by another network (WAN). This gives an outside network the ability to distinguish and communicate with a device on the inside network, as the inside network has a private set of IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server, which are not know to the outside network.

  • Page 126: Basic Nat

    A.1 Basic NAT Basic Network Address Translation (NAT) enables outbound sessions for the hosts in a private network to gain 0access the external network. Facts of Basic NAT: Basic NAT allows hosts in a private network to transparently access the external network. Basic NAT maps only one IP addresses in the private domain to each IP address in the public domain.

    A.2 Static NAPT NAPT, also known as NAT-PAT, stands for Network Address Translation and Port Address Translation. An extension of Basic NAT, NAPT enables outbound sessions so that the hosts in a private network to access the external network. Facts of NAPT: NAPT multiplexes traffic from the internal network and presents it to the Internet as if it is coming from only one IP address.

  • Page 128: Functional Descriptions

    A.3 Functional Descriptions This section describes various NAT mechanisms for both outbound and inbound session operations. Together, they provide a mechanism to connect a realm with private addresses to an external realm with globally unique registered addresses. The NAT module allows outbound access with either static or dynamic sessions. Inbound access is normally blocked but selective inbound sessions may be enabled.

  • Page 129: Outbound Access

    A.3.1 Outbound Access The NAT module implements two modes for outbound sessions: NAT mode and NAPT mode. NAT Mode: NAT mode implements the Basic NAT functionality. 1. Static session mapping is required for any local host to access the public domain. 2.
  • Page 130 dynamic session stays in NAT until it expires. Therefore, each ping request refreshes the timer of that dynamic session in NAT so the session never expires. In this case, stop the ping for a period of time, let the session expire, then restart the ping. The expiration time differs from protocol to protocol.

ATM : Asynchronous Transfer Mode: A method of transfer in which data is organized into 53-byte cell units.
  • Page 141 DMZ : Demilitarized Zone: A computer Host or network that acts as a neutral zone between a private network and a public network. A DMZ prevents users outside of the private network from getting direct access to a server or any computer within the private network. The outside user sends requests to the DMZ, and the DMZ initiates sessions in the public network based on these requests.

Using HEC, either a single bit error in the header can be corrected or multiple bit errors in the header can be detected.
