RFC 2663 uses the term network address and port translation (NAPT) for this type of NAT. [5] Other names include port address translation (PAT), IP masquerading, NAT overload, and many-to-one NAT. This is the most common type of NAT and has become synonymous with the term NAT in common usage.
Port forwarding via NAT router. In computer networking, port forwarding or port mapping is an application of network address translation (NAT) that redirects a communication request from one address and port number combination to another while the packets are traversing a network gateway, such as a router or firewall.
What is the difference between port forwarding and port address translation?— Omegatron 15:43, August 23, 2005 (UTC) For the record, it's that port address translation is a method of dynamically assigning source ports from an exposed public ip for connections to a remote server from an internal private ip, whereas port forwarding forwards a destination port on a exposed public ip to an ...
NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) is a network protocol for establishing network address translation (NAT) settings and port forwarding configurations automatically without user effort. [1] The protocol automatically determines the external IPv4 address of a NAT gateway, and provides means for an application to communicate the parameters for ...

Network address translation traversal is a computer networking technique of establishing and maintaining Internet Protocol connections across gateways that implement network address translation (NAT). NAT traversal techniques are required for many network applications, such as peer-to-peer file sharing and voice over IP. [1]
