.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
The
 | 
						|
.B nat
 | 
						|
action allows to perform NAT without the overhead of conntrack, which is
 | 
						|
desirable if the number of flows or addresses to perform NAT on is large. This
 | 
						|
action is best used in combination with the
 | 
						|
.B u32
 | 
						|
filter to allow for efficient lookups of a large number of stateless NAT rules
 | 
						|
in constant time.
 | 
						|
.SH OPTIONS
 | 
						|
.TP
 | 
						|
.B ingress
 | 
						|
Translate destination addresses, i.e. perform DNAT.
 | 
						|
.TP
 | 
						|
.B egress
 | 
						|
Translate source addresses, i.e. perform SNAT.
 | 
						|
.TP
 | 
						|
.I OLD
 | 
						|
Specifies addresses which should be translated.
 | 
						|
.TP
 | 
						|
.I NEW
 | 
						|
Specifies addresses which
 | 
						|
.I OLD
 | 
						|
should be translated into.
 | 
						|
.SH NOTES
 | 
						|
The accepted address format in
 | 
						|
.IR OLD " and " NEW
 | 
						|
is quite flexible. It may either consist of one of the keywords
 | 
						|
.BR default ", " any " or " all ,
 | 
						|
representing the all-zero IP address or a combination of IP address and netmask
 | 
						|
or prefix length separated by a slash
 | 
						|
.RB ( / )
 | 
						|
sign. In any case, the mask (or prefix length) value of
 | 
						|
.I OLD
 | 
						|
is used for
 | 
						|
.I NEW
 | 
						|
as well so that a one-to-one mapping of addresses is assured.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Address translation is done using a combination of binary operations. First, the
 | 
						|
original (source or destination) address is matched against the value of
 | 
						|
.IR OLD .
 | 
						|
If the original address fits, the new address is created by taking the leading
 | 
						|
bits from
 | 
						|
.I NEW
 | 
						|
(defined by the netmask of
 | 
						|
.IR OLD )
 | 
						|
and taking the remaining bits from the original address.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There is rudimental support for upper layer protocols, namely TCP, UDP and ICMP.
 | 
						|
While for the first two only checksum recalculation is performed, the action
 | 
						|
also takes care of embedded IP headers in ICMP packets by translating the
 | 
						|
respective address therein, too.
