5.3.2.2 Restricted Cone NAT
Restricted cone NAT maps all requests from the same private IP address and port to the same public IP address and port. In contrast to full cone NAT, a host on the Internet can only send a packet to the private IP address and port if the private IP address and port has previously sent a packet to that host. In the following figure, if A has sent a packet to B, then B can send packets to A and B’s source port can vary. C cannot send packets to A because A never sent a packet to C.

5.3.2.3 Port Restricted Cone NAT
Port restricted cone NAT is like a restricted cone NAT, but port numbers are included in the restriction. In the following figure, B can send packets, with source IP address e.f.g.h and port 20202 to A because A previously sent a packet to IP address e.f.g.h and port 20202. B cannot send packets, with source IP address e.f.g.h and port 10101 to A because A has not sent a packet to IP address e.f.g.h and port 10101.
