The component implements an address and port-dependent mapping +and address and port-dependent filtering NAT as described in +`RFC4787 `__. + +The outside address and port (X1’:x1’) is reused for internal hosts +(X:x) for different values of Y:y. A flow is matched by {source address, +destination address, protocol, transport source port, transport +destination port, fib index}. As long as all these are unique the +mapping is valid. While a single outside address in theory allows for +2^16 source ports \* 2^32 destination IP addresses \* 2^16 destination +ports = 2^64 sessions, this number is much smaller in practice. Few +destination ports are generally used (80, 443) and a fraction of the IP +address space is available. The limitation is 2^16 bindings per outside +IP address to a single destination address and port (Y:y). + +The implementation is split, a control-plane / slow-path and a +data-plane / fast-path. Essentially acting as a flow router. The +data-plane does a 6-tuple flow lookup (SA, DA, P, SP, DP, FIB) and on a +match runs the per-flow packet handling instructions on the packet. On a +flow lookup miss, the packet is punted to the slow-path, where depending +on policy new sessions are created. + +The support set of packet handling instructions is ever-increasing. +Currently, the implementation supports rewrite of SA, DA, SP, DP and TCP +MSS. The fast-path also does connection tracking and expiry of older +sessions. + +NAT44-ED uses 6 +tuple\ ``(src address, src port, dst address, dst port, protocol and fib)``\ for +matching communication. + +Structure +~~~~~~~~~ + +1) Dynamic NAT + +- also called PAT (Port Address Translation) +- supports port overloading + +2) Static NAT + +- types of Static NAT: + + a) identity mapping + + - exceptions to translations + + b) static mapping + + - supported features: + + 1. address only mapping + + - one to one translation without ports + + 2. twice-nat + + - double-nat, translation of source and destination + + 3. self-twice-nat + + - double nat, translation of source and destination, where + external host address is the same as local host address + + 4. out2in-only mapping + + - session is created only from outside interface (out2in feature) + + c) load balanced static mapping + + - translates one frontend (``addr``:``port``) to multiple backends + (``addr``:``port``) + +3) Interfaces + +a) inside interface (in2out feature) - local to external network + translation - feature is before ip4-lookup +b) outside interface (out2in feature) - external to local network + translation - feature is before ip4-lookup +c) inside & outside interface (classify feature) - local or external + network translation - correct type of translation is determined per + communication - feature is before ip4-lookup +d) output interface (output feature) - used for post routing translation + - feature is after ip4-lookup + +4) Addresses + +a) interface address - automatically managed external address - first + address of VPP interface +b) pool address - range of external addresses + +5) Logging and Accounting + +a) ipfix logging +b) syslog + +6) Miscellaneous Features + +a) inter-vrf translation control 1. basic + + - nat44 plugin enable inside-vrf / outside-vrf + - inside/outside interface vrf’s + + 2. advanced + + - vrf table routing feature + +b) udp/tcp/icmp timeouts - configurable timeouts for these protocols +c) session limiting 1. basic (plugin enable [sessions ] 2. advanced + (per vrf table / global limiting) +d) mss-clamping - MSS (maximum segment size) is by default determined by + egress interface MTU (maximum transmission unit) size - used to lower + MSS value in VPN tunnel scenarios where additional headers can + enlarge the packet beyond MTU causing drops +e) hairpinning - hosts on the same lan segment communicating via + external address +f) forwarding - if enabled translation only occurs if active session or + static configuration exist, rest of the traffic is passed without + being translated + +Session Table +------------- + +Session table exists per thread and contains pool of sessions that can +be either expired or not expired. NAT44-ED plugin doesn’t use scavenging +for clearing expired sessions. Rather then using scavenging plugin uses +LRU doubly-linked list. LRU contains ordered list of sessions indices. +Head of the list contains last updated session. Each session holds +record of the LRU head (tcp transitory, tcp established, udp, icmp or +unknown lru head). Because of this plugin can reach maximum number of +sessions without requirement to clear old sessions. During session +creation if a maximum number of sessions was reached LRU head is +checked. Expired head record gets deleted and a new session gets +created. For better performance LRU head records exist. Each time a new +packet is received session index gets moved to the tail of LRU list. + +Terminology +----------- + +IN2OUT (inside to outside translation) OUT2IN (outside to inside +translation) + +NAT (network address translation) PAT (port address translation) MSS +(maximum segment size) MTU (maximum transmission unit) VRF (virtual +routing and forwarding) + +HAIRPINNING + +Dynamic NAT (Minimal Required Configuration) +-------------------------------------------- + +:: + + +-------------+ + | 10.0.0.0/24 | + +-------------+ + | + +----------------------+ + | GigabitEthernet0/8/0 | + +----------------------+ + +----------------------+ + | GigabitEthernet0/a/0 | + +----------------------+ + | + +-------------+ + | 10.0.1.0/24 | + +-------------+ + +1) enable nat plugin + +.. + + nat44 enable sessions 10000 + +2) configure NAT interfaces, two options: + +a) add inside NAT interface on local VPP interface, add outside NAT + interface on external VPP interface + +.. + + set interface nat44 in GigabitEthernet0/8/0 out GigabitEthernet0/a/0 + +b) add output NAT interface on external VPP interface + +.. + + set interface nat44 in GigabitEthernet0/a/0 output-feature + +3) configure NAT address + +a) add external address range + +.. + + nat44 add address 10.0.1.1 + +b) add external VPP interface address + +.. + + nat44 add interface address GigabitEthernet0/a/0 + +Static NAT +---------- + +Identity Mapping +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + nat44 add identity mapping ``ip4-addr``\ \|external ``interface`` + [``protocol`` ``port``] [vrf ``table-id``] [del] + +Static Mapping +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + nat44 add static mapping tcp|udp|icmp local ``addr`` + [``port|icmp-echo-id``] external ``addr`` [``port|icmp-echo-id``] + [vrf ``table-id``] [twice-nat|self-twice-nat] [out2in-only] [exact + ``pool-addr``] [del] + +Load Balanced Static Mapping +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + nat44 add load-balancing back-end protocol tcp|udp external + ``addr``:``port`` local ``addr``:``port`` [vrf ``table-id``] + probability ``n`` [del] + +.. + + nat44 add load-balancing static mapping protocol tcp|udp external + ``addr``:``port`` local ``addr``:``port`` [vrf ``table-id``] + probability ``n`` [twice-nat|self-twice-nat] [out2in-only] [affinity + ``timeout-seconds``] [del] + +Interfaces +---------- + +Inside Interface +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:: + + NAT INSIDE IF + +----------------------+ + | GigabitEthernet0/8/0 | + +----------------------+ + +.. + + set interface nat44 in GigabitEthernet0/8/0 [del] + +NAT inside interface is used for translating local to external +communication.

Passing +communication between multiple different VRFs is also supported (GE0/7/0 +-> GE0/b/0, GE0/8/0 -> GE0/a/0). + +NAT pool address tenant-vrf configuration parameter is used to constrain +pool address to specific inside VRF.

The limitation in the default behavior is that if each +interface belonging to different fib contains default gateway every time +first interface network fib gets used as outside fib index during +session creation. + +VRF tables +^^^^^^^^^^ + + nat44 vrf table [add|del] ``vrf-id`` + +.. + + nat44 vrf route [add|del] table ``vrf-id`` ``vrf-id`` + +VRF tables change the default behavior of working with inter-vrf +communication. Adding empty VRF table disables passing communication +between VRFs. Adding additional routes to the table makes destination +VRF decision making algorithm do lookups into these tables. During +session creation destination VRF in in2out feature is resolved by +traversing VRF routes in the matching VRF table. If VRF route resolves +destination IPv4 address then this VRF gets used.
