36.4.4 Example 4: NAT Unfriendly Application Programs

Some applications do not support NAT Mapping using TCP or UDP port address translation.
In this case it is better to use Many-One-to-One mapping as port numbers do not change for
Many-One-to-One (and One-to-One) NAT mapping types. The following figure illustrates
this.

"

Other applications such as some gaming programs are NAT unfriendly
because they embed addressing information in the data stream. These
applications won’t work through NAT even when using One-to-One and Many-
One-to-One mapping types.

Follow the steps outlined in example 3 above to configure these two menus as follows.

Figure 362 Example 4: Menu 15.1.1.1: Address Mapping Rule
