NAT Editors

  • Article

In the case where the NAT component must additionally translate and adjust the payload beyond the IP, TCP, and UDP headers, a NAT editor is required. A NAT editor is an installable component that can properly modify otherwise nontranslatable payloads so that they can be forwarded across a NAT.

Windows 2000 includes built-in NAT editors for the following protocols:

  • FTP

  • ICMP

  • PPTP

  • NetBIOS over TCP/IP

Additionally, the NAT routing protocol includes proxy software for the following protocols:

  • Direct Play

  • LDAP-based ILS registration

  • RPC
