-# PNAT: 1:1 match and rewrite programmable NAT {#pnat_doc}
-
-PNAT is a stateless statically configured, match and rewrite plugin.
-It uses a set of match and rewrite rules that are applied on the IP
-input and output feature paths. A PNAT rule is unidirectional.
-
-The match is done using up to a 6-tuple; IP source and destination address,
-IP protocol, transport layer source and destination ports, and FIB table / interface index.
-
-While multiple match/rewrite rules can be applied to an interface (per direction), the match
-pattern must be the same across all rules on that interface/direction.
-
-If required in the future, matching could be done using the general classifier, allowing matching
-on any protocol field, as well having an ordered set of match patterns.
-
-If the packet does not match, it will by default be passed to the next graph node in the feature chain.
-If desired a different miss behaviour could be implemented, e.g. similarly to dynamic NAT, the packet punted to a slow path.
-
-## Rewrite instructions
-
-``` c
-typedef enum {
- PNAT_INSTR_NONE = 1 << 0,
- PNAT_INSTR_SOURCE_ADDRESS = 1 << 1,
- PNAT_INSTR_SOURCE_PORT = 1 << 2,
- PNAT_INSTR_DESTINATION_ADDRESS = 1 << 3,
- PNAT_INSTR_DESTINATION_PORT = 1 << 4,
-} pnat_instructions_t;
-```
-
-These are the supported rewrite instructions.
-The IP checksum and the TCP/UDP checksum are incrementally updated as required.
-
-There are only a few "sanity checks" on the rewrites. For example, the rewrite in the outbound direction
-is applied on the ip-output feature chain. If one were to rewrite the IP destination address, the routing
-decision and determination of the next-hop has already been done, and the packet would still be forwarded
-to the original next-hop.
