Basic Network Address Translation or Basic NAT is a method by which
IP addresses are mapped from one group to another, transparent to
end users. Network Address Port Translation, or NAPT is a method by
which many network addresses and their TCP/UDP ports are translated
into a single network address and its TCP/UDP ports. Together,
these two operations, referred to as traditional NAT, provide a
mechanism to connect a routing realm with private addresses to the
external routing network with globally unique registered addresses.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
