> Technical Summary
>
>     This document describes the framework, messages, and procedures for
>     the Diameter Network address and port translation Control
>     Application.  This Diameter application allows per endpoint control
>     of Network Address Translators and Network Address and Port
>     Translators, which are added to networks to cope with IPv4-address
>     space completion.  This Diameter application allows external devices
>     to configure and manage a Network Address Translator device -
>     expanding the existing Diameter-based AAA and policy control
>     capabilities with a Network Address Translators and Network Address
>     and Port Translators control component.  These external devices can
>     be network elements in the data plane such as a Network Access
>     Server, or can be more centralized control plane devices such as AAA-
>     servers.  This Diameter application establishes a context to commonly
>     identify and manage endpoints on a gateway or server, and a Network
>     Address Translator and Network Address and Port Translator device.
>     This includes, for example, the control of the total number of
>     Network Address Translator bindings allowed or the allocation of a
>     specific Network Address Translator binding for a particular
>     endpoint.  In addition, it allows Network Address Translator devices
>     to provide information relevant to accounting purposes.

> Working Group Summary
>
>    The document spent well over a year in the WG and has had an intensive
>    review in the WG. However, the authors
>    actively kept the document progressing and improving. The document
>    is a result of collaborative WG work.
>
> Document Quality
>
>    There is currently no publicly announced implementations of the
>    protocol. The document itself is solid, well written and in places
>    goes into level of details not often seen in Diameter Application
>    describing documents.
