6. 6 Private Network Private IP network is an IP network that is not directly connected to the Internet IP addresses in a private network can be assigned arbitrarily. Not registered and not guaranteed to be globally unique Generally, private networks use addresses from the following experimental address ranges (non-routable addresses): 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

7. 7 Private Addresses

8. Network Address Translation (NAT) RFC 1631 A short term solution to the problem of the depletion of IP addresses Long term solution is IPv6 CIDR (Classless InterDomain Routing ) is a possible short term solution NAT is another NAT is a way to conserve IP addresses Can be used to hide a number of hosts behind a single IP address Uses private addresses: 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0-172.32.255.255 or 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255 8

9. 9 Network Address Translation (NAT) NAT is a router function where IP addresses (and possibly port numbers) of IP datagrams are replaced at the boundary of a private network NAT is a method that enables hosts on private networks to communicate with hosts on the Internet NAT is run on routers that connect private networks to the public Internet, to replace the IP address-port pair of an IP packet with another IP address-port pair.

10. 10 Basic Operation of NAT NAT device has address translation table One to one address translation

11. 11 Pooling of IP Addresses Scenario: Corporate network has many hosts but only a small number of public IP addresses NAT solution: Corporate network is managed with a private address space NAT device, located at the boundary between the corporate network and the public Internet, manages a pool of public IP addresses When a host from the corporate network sends an IP datagram to a host in the public Internet, the NAT device picks a public IP address from the address pool, and binds this address to the private address of the host

12. 12 Pooling of IP Addresses

13. 13 Supporting Migration between Network Service Providers Scenario: In CIDR, the IP addresses in a corporate network are obtained from the service provider. Changing the service provider requires changing all IP addresses in the network. NAT solution: Assign private addresses to the hosts of the corporate network NAT device has static address translation entries which bind the private address of a host to the public address. Migration to a new network service provider merely requires an update of the NAT device. The migration is not noticeable to the hosts on the network. Note: The difference to the use of NAT with IP address pooling is that the mapping of public and private IP addresses is static.

14. Benefits Problem: Merging corporations with conflicting private IP address space need connectivity to each other and/or the Internet Solution: NAT provides transparent, scalable, and bi-directional connectivity between corporate headquarters and acquisitions CorporateAcquisition 10.6.1.2010.6.1.51 NAT Before NAT Outbound Packet Before NAT Outbound Packet Src Addr 10.6.1.20 Src Addr 10.6.1.20 Dest Addr Acquisition Dest Addr Acquisition After NAT Outbound Packet After NAT Outbound Packet Src Addr 192.168.7.10 Src Addr 192.168.7.10 Dest Addr Acquisition Dest Addr Acquisition After NAT Outbound Packet After NAT Outbound Packet Src Addr 172.21.58.10 Src Addr 172.21.58.10 Dest Addr Corporate Dest Addr Corporate Before NAT Outbound Packet Before NAT Outbound Packet Src Addr 10.6.1.51 Src Addr 10.6.1.51 Dest Addr Corporate Dest Addr Corporate X

16. 16 IP Masquerading Also called: Network address and port translation (NAPT), port address translation (PAT). Scenario: Single public IP address is mapped to multiple hosts in a private network. NAT solution: Assign private addresses to the hosts of the corporate network NAT device modifies the port numbers for outgoing traffic

17. 17 IP Masquerading

18. 18 Load Balancing of Servers Scenario: Balance the load on a set of identical servers, which are accessible from a single IP address NAT solution: Here, the servers are assigned private addresses NAT device acts as a proxy for requests to the server from the public network The NAT device changes the destination IP address of arriving packets to one of the private addresses for a server A sensible strategy for balancing the load of the servers is to assign the addresses of the servers in a round-robin fashion.

19. 19 Load Balancing of Servers

20. 20 Concerns about NAT Performance: Modifying the IP header by changing the IP address requires that NAT boxes recalculate the IP header checksum Modifying port number requires that NAT boxes recalculate TCP checksum Fragmentation Care must be taken that a datagram that is fragmented before it reaches the NAT device, is not assigned a different IP address or different port numbers for each of the fragments.

21. 21 Concerns about NAT End-to-end connectivity: NAT destroys universal end-to-end reachability of hosts on the Internet. A host in the public Internet often cannot initiate communication to a host in a private network. The problem is worse, when two hosts that are in a private network need to communicate with each other.

22. 22 Concerns about NAT IP address in application data: Applications that carry IP addresses in the payload of the application data generally do not work across a private-public network boundary. Some NAT devices inspect the payload of widely used application layer protocols and, if an IP address is detected in the application-layer header or the application payload, translate the address according to the address translation table.

24. NAT Concepts An interface on the router can be defined as inside or outside Translations occur only from inside to outside interfaces or vice versa—never between the same type of interface NAT Inside Interface Inside Network Outside Network ip nat inside ip nat outside Inside HostOutside Host Outside Interface

25. NAT Concepts NAT translations are static or dynamic Static translation are entered directly into the configuration and are always in the translation table ip nat inside source static 10.6.1.20 171.69.68.10 Dynamic translations use access lists to identify IP addresses that NAT should create translations for ip nat inside source list 1 pool nat-pool access-list 1 permit 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255

26. Static vs. Dynamic Translations Static translations When you need to be able to initiate a connection from both the inside and outside interfaces (e.g. SMTP, Web) Or you want a specific host to be translated to a specific IP address Dynamic translations When you want to initiate a connection from only the inside or only the outside

30. NAT Terminology Inside local Configured IP address assigned to a host on the inside network; address may be globally unique, allocated out of the private address space defined in RFC 1918, or may be officially allocated to some other organization Inside global The IP address of an inside host as it appears to the outside host and network, “Translated IP Address”; addresses can be allocated from a globally unique address space, typically provided by the ISP (if the enterprise is connected to the global Internet)
