address in the header of packet, which is the
client source. If the client address is Network
Address Translated by the WLAN Access
Manager, the WLAN Access Manager rewrites
the IP address so it appears as if the client comes
from the WLAN Access Manager, which is the
client's actual source IP address and port number
The client puts a destination IP address in a
packet, which is the client destination. The WLAN
Security System can rewrite packet's destination
IP address, which is the actual destination.
