Cisco IOS: Scalability for Stateful NAT

Scalability for Stateful NAT - Cisco Systems
Scalability for Stateful NAT

The Scalability for Stateful NAT feature allows Stateful Network Address Translation (SNAT) to control the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) state change until the NAT information is completely exchanged. The ability to change the default TCP mode to User Datagram Protocol (UDP) mode, and the ability to disable asymmetric queuing have been added. When UDP mode is used, SNAT will send messages over UDP mode using a proprietary acknowledgement/retransmit mechanism.
