Abstract
Network Address Translation (NAT) and Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) are widely used to separate networks and share IPv4 addresses. They´re valuable tools for network administrators and help with the imminent exhaustion of IPv4 address space and the transition to IPv6. This article surveys recent standardization efforts in this area.
