NAT Editors

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

Note

IPSec traffic is not translatable.
