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 internal server on a private ip, all the time.Nimmo 15:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
