Subject: [IPTABLES] Symmetric NAT ?
Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 09:07:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43549F4B.2060705@neotip.com> (raw)

Hi,

I was making some tests with STUN when I realize that my NAT box was a 
simple Linux Box with an IPTABLES rule with a MASQ target. What seemed 
strange to me was that the STUN result was "Port restricted cone ".

I made a new with NATcheck.exe... same result.
http://midcom-p2p.sourceforge.net/

I was sure IPTABLES NAT was Symmetric and not Port restricted cone. What 
about it ?
In the "Procceding of NetFilter Developer WorkShop 2004",  Harald Welte 
reported "

netfilter however implements (SNAT and MASQ) as ssymmetric.
"


For me, with MASQ it is Port restricted cone and with SNAT+DNAT it is 
Symmetric. Is it true ?

Thanx,
--
