4.6 Specifications

The following specifications apply when using Corente Cloud Services Exchange NAT solutions:

  • As with any other NAT solution, applications that carry IP addresses in the payload, such as ones that include the IP address for a computer as part of the data inside the packet, will not work. Care must be taken to understand the applications that you are usin,g to ensure that NAT will be able to solve your problem. In particular, the H.323 (Netmeeting) protocol will not work with NAT.

    However, a fixup module is included that allows active FTP over NATed connections. Active FTP is usually forbidden on NATed subnets.

  • NAT will not function correctly for Corente Clients, because these clients are bridged directly to the Location gateway’s LAN.
