One example that comes to mind immediately is FTP.  FTP fails to work
properly on true NAT devices.  As a solution to this problem, many NAT
developers have found themselves having to write "helper" modules to handle
various protocols.  Now, because of helper modules that alter data in
transit, NAT is generally able to handle FTP reliably.  But unfortunately
you cannot design a helper module for every protocol ever developed that
would need such a thing.
