Nomadix' patented iNAT™ (intelligent Network Address Translation) feature contains an
advanced, real-time translation engine that analyzes all data packets being communicated
between the private address realm and the public address realm.
The NSE performs a defined mode of network address translation based on packet type and
protocol (for example, GRE, ISAKMP etc.). UDP packet fragmentation is supported to
provide more seamless translation engine for certificate-based VPN connections.
If address translation is needed to ensure the success of a specific application (for example,
multiple users trying to access the same VPN termination server at the same time), the packet
engine selects an IP address from a freely definable pool of publicly routable IP addresses. The
same public IP address can be used as a source IP to support concurrent tunnels to different
termination devices—offering unmatched efficiency in the utilization of costly public IP
addresses. If the protocol type can be supported without the use of a public IP (for example,
HTTP, FTP), our proven Dynamic Address Translation™ functionality continues to be used.
Some of the benefits of iNAT™ include:
Improves the success rate of VPN connectivity by misconfigured users, thus reducing

customer support costs and boosting customer satisfaction.
Maintains the security benefits of traditional address translation technologies while

enabling secure VPN connections for mobile workers accessing corporate resources
from a public access location.
Dynamically adjusts the mode of address translation during the user's session,

depending on the packet type.
Supports users with static private IP addresses (for example, 192.168.x.x) or public

(different subnet) IP addresses without any changes to the client IP settings.
Dramatically heightens the reusability factor of costly public IP addresses.
