BCPs are stable identifiers for Best Current Practices. A BCP may consist of a single RFC or a group of RFCs related to a specific IETF process or recommended guidelines. The collection may become empty as the BCP evolves.
RFC 4787: BCP 127: Network Address Translation (NAT) Behavioral Requirements for Unicast UDP
Best Current Practice
- F. Audet, Ed.
- C. Jennings
- January 2007
- IETF publication
- Transport Area
Abstract
This document defines basic terminology for describing different types of Network Address Translation (NAT) behavior when handling Unicast UDP and also defines a set of requirements that would allow many applications, such as multimedia communications or online gaming, to work consistently. Developing NATs that meet this set of requirements will greatly increase the likelihood that these applications will function properly. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
