RFC 3022 Traditional/Unidirectional NAT

RFC 3022 describes traditional/unidirectional network address translation (NAT) which maps private IP addresses to public IP addresses in a 1-to-many relationship. It involves source NAT (SNAT) where the source address and port of outgoing packets are translated and destination NAT (DNAT) where incoming packets have the destination address and port translated. Traditional NAT assigns a single public IP address to multiple private addresses and also modifies port numbers for outgoing traffic in a many-to-one mapping of private to public addresses and ports, known as network address and port translation (NAPT).

RFC 3022

Traditional/Unidirectional
NAT

NAT Overview
Originally (RFC 1631 - obsolete) NAT
provides a mapping between internal
IP addresses and officially assigned
external addresses.
NAT is also known as IP
masquerading.
NAT 1:1 mapping between private
& public ip addresses

NAT overview

SNAT vs. DNAT


Source NAT (SNAT)
The source address (/port) of the first
(NEW) packet is translated
The destination address of the return
packet is translated correspondingly
Destination NAT (DNAT)
The destination address (/port) of the first
(NEW) packet is translated
The source address of the return packet is
translated correspondingly

NAT Overview
1 to 1 translations (NAT) assign a
different IP address for each
translation

Traditional Nat (RFC3022)


A single (or few) public IP address is
mapped to multiple hosts in a private
network
Assign private addresses to the
hosts of the corporate network
NAT device modifies the port
numbers for outgoing traffic
Ports should be translated as well

Traditional NAT, RFC 3022 includes


also port translation and is more
correctly called NAPT: Network
Address and Port Translation
N:1 (private to public)

NAT vs NAPT
NAT
The source address and/or destination
address is translated

NAPT
Not only the address is translated but
also the corresponding port
