NAT in itself does not hurt, but when you want to be a timeserver for a large number of clients, it can be a problem. Many home routers have no "static NAT" but only "portforwarding" which creates dynamic NAT entries on demand. As UDP has no session concept, such NAT entries have a lifetime of usually a couple of minutes. When you serve thousands of clients, this tends to overflow the NAT table or stress the lookup code so much that it overloads the CPU. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
