	Title		: IP Network Address Translator (NAT) Terminology 
                          and Considerations

   Network Address Translation is a method by which IP addresses are
   mapped from one realm to another, providing transparent routing to
   hosts. Traditionally, NATs are used to connect an isolated routing
   realm with private unregistered addresses to an external routing
   realm with globally unique registered addresses. This document
   attempts to describe the operation of NATs in general and to
   define the terminology used to identify various flavors of NAT.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
