The IESG has approved the following document: - 'NAT Behavioral Requirements for ICMP protocol ' <draft-ietf-behave-nat-icmp-12.txt> as a BCP This document is the product of the Behavior Engineering for Hindrance Avoidance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Magnus Westerlund and Lars Eggert. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-behave-nat-icmp-12.txt Technical Summary This document specifies the behavioral properties required of the Network Address Translator (NAT) devices in conjunction with the ICMP protocol. The objective of this memo is to make NAT devices more predictable and compatible with diverse application protocols that traverse the devices. Companion documents provide behavioral recommendations specific to TCP, UDP and other protocols. Working Group Summary There was consensus in the WG to publish this document. Document Quality This is a BCP document, and describes current good practice in existing NATs, and describes some improvements to current practice.
