Abstract:
   NAT devices are required to log events like creation and deletion of
   translations and information about the resources it is managing.
   With the wide deployment of Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) devices, the
   logging of events have become very important for legal purposes.  The
   logs are required in many cases to identify an attacker or a host
   that was used to launch malicious attacks and/or for various other
   purposes of accounting.  Since there is no standard way of logging
   this information, different NAT devices behave differently and hence
   it is difficult to expect a consistent behavior.  The lack of a
   consistent way makes it difficult to write the collector applications
   that would receive this data and process it to present useful
   information.  This document describes the information that is
   required to be logged by the NAT devices.
