Section 4.6 of RFC 3022 mentions that a NAT router may choose to support IP options or leave the addresses untraslated while processing the options. The result of leaving the addresses untranslated would be that private addresses along the source route are exposed end to end. In any of the IP options, the IP addresses stored are those of the intermediate routers,which are mostly registered IP addresses. Moreover we assume that NAT functionality is implemented on stub-domain routers.i.e. routers connected directly to a LAN without any intermediate router. We use NAT to translate the private addresses of the hosts in the private address realm. can there be a situation where routers can have private addresses and NAT would need to translate them? can anyone give an example of a scenario where we would need to translate the IP addresses of the routers stored in the IP options? thanx in advance regards Nirmala _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ nat mailing list nat@ietf.org http://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nat
