This part contains more information regarding NAT.

10.10.1 NAT Definitions

Inside/outside denotes where a host is located relative to the Device, for example, the computers
of your subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside
hosts.
Global/local denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a router, for
example, the local address refers to the IP address of a host when the packet is in the local
network, while the global address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is
traveling in the WAN side.

DESCRIPTION
Use this field to set a limit to the number of concurrent NAT sessions each client host can
have.
If only a few clients use peer to peer applications, you can raise this number to improve
their performance. With heavy peer-to-peer application use, lower this number to ensure no
single client uses too many of the available NAT sessions.
