Abstract:
When network address translation (NAT) is used in an address resource
restricted environment, or when a lot of users are located under a
NAT device, IP addresses and port resources may be eaten up, and this
affects user experiences very negatively. This situation can be
greatly mitigated by tweaking mapping behavior and session timer
handling in NAT functions. This document proposes extension for
optimizing NAT IP address and port resources in address resource
restricted environments. The extension makes use of TCP timestamps
and sequence numbers for TIME_WAIT assassination.
