Actually, since the TCP port is part of the TCP header, which is in turn a
part of the IP message, you must be able to rewrite an IP packet in order to
do this forwarding you mention. Being able to do that qualifies you as a NAT.
Yes, CheckPoint FireWalls can do that, because they can do NAT. A router
cannot do that.
