Introduction After that simple and informative introduction to the NAT concept, it's time to find out more about how it works and this is where the NAT table comes in.

The NAT Table The NAT table is the heart of the whole NAT operation, which takes place within the router (or any NAT-enabled device) as packets arrive and leave its interfaces. Each connection from the internal (private) network to the external (public-Internet) network, and vice versa, is tracked and a special table is created to help the router determine what to do with all incoming packets on all of its interfaces; in our example there are two. This table, known as the NAT table, is populated gradually as connections are created across the router and once these connections are closed the entries are deleted, making room for new entries. The NAT table works differently depending on the NAT mode. The larger the NAT table (which means the more memory it occupies), the more bi-directional connections it can track.
