Network Address Translation

Overview With the exponential growth of the Internet, a shortage of IP addresses is becoming a problem. One method to help preserve the limited number of legally registered addresses is Network Address Translation (NAT). This paper discusses the concept of NAT and explains how to configure NAT in different scenarios. Riverstone Networks' NAT is a wire-speed solution, which means it is realized in hardware rather than in software. This guarantees the performance required by today's Service Provider (SP) networks. NAT is supported on all Riverstone platforms.
