A.6 Specifications

  • As with any NAT solution, applications that carry IP addresses in the payload (i.e., give the IP address for a computer as part of the data inside the packet) will not work. This is true industry-wide, so care must be taken to understand the applications that you are using to ensure that NAT will solve your problem. In particular, H.323 (Netmeeting) 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.
