Title : NAT Behavioral Requirements for TCP
Author(s) : S. Sivakumar, et al.
Filename : draft-sivakumar-behave-nat-tcp-req-01.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2005-3-30
NAT devices are available from a number of vendors and are in use by
several residential and enterprise users. Yet, there is much
variation in how the NAT devices work. Application developers,
network administrators and users of NAT devices seek some level of
uniformity and predictability in how various of the NAT devices
operate. The objective of this document is to specify the
operational and behavioral requirements on the NAT devices while
processing TCP packets. A NAT device that conforms to the
requirements listed in the document will bring predictability in
how NATs operate with regard to TCP packet processing. A NAT device
is said to be IETF behave compliant when it complies with the
requirements outlined in this document and two other companion
documents ([BEH-GEN], [BEH-UDP]) which outline the requirements
for processing IP, ICMP & UDP.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-sivakumar-behave-nat-tcp-req-01.txt".
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.
