Hi!

I need to translate sequence numbers between the two networks that are 
separated by the firewall. In fact, I just need to translate on of them 
(so tcph->ack_seq in one direction, and tcph->seq in the opposite 
direction).
I found the ip_nat_seq stucture and the ip_nat_seq_adjust function but I 
do not understand them. Particularly this "correction_pos", what is it?

Could someone provide me with some explanations?

             Emmanuel
