NAPT mode

NAPT is a special case of NAT, where many IP numbers are hidden

 

behind a number of addresses. In contrast to the original NAT,

 

however, this does not mean there can be only that number of

 

connections at a time.

 

In NAPT mode, an almost arbitrary number of connections are

 

multiplexed using TCP port information. The number of simultaneous

 

connections is limited by the number of addresses multiplied by the

 

number of available TCP ports.
