.TH IPNAT 4
.SH NAME
ipnat \- Network Address Translation kernel interface
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <netinet/ip_compat.h>
.br
#include <netinet/ip_fil.h>
.br
#include <netinet/ip_proxy.h>
.br
#include <netinet/ip_nat.h>
.SH IOCTLS
.PP
To add and delete rules to the NAT list, two 'basic' ioctls are provided
for use. The ioctl's are called as:
.LP
.nf
ioctl(fd, SIOCADNAT, struct ipnat *)
ioctl(fd, SIOCRMNAT, struct ipnat *)
.fi
.PP
Unlike \fBipf(4)\fP, there is only a single list supported by the kernel NAT
interface. An inactive list which can be swapped to is not currently
supported.
These ioctl's are implemented as being routing ioctls and thus the same rules
for the various routing ioctls and the file descriptor are employed, mainly
being that the fd must be that of the device associated with the module
(i.e., /dev/ipl).
.LP
.PP
The strcture used with the NAT interface is described below:
.LP
.nf
typedef struct ipnat {
struct ipnat *in_next;
void *in_ifp;
u_short in_flags;
u_short in_pnext;
u_short in_port[2];
struct in_addr in_in[2];
struct in_addr in_out[2];
struct in_addr in_nextip;
int in_space;
int in_redir; /* 0 if it's a mapping, 1 if it's a hard redir */
char in_ifname[IFNAMSIZ];
} ipnat_t;
#define in_pmin in_port[0] /* Also holds static redir port */
#define in_pmax in_port[1]
#define in_nip in_nextip.s_addr
#define in_inip in_in[0].s_addr
#define in_inmsk in_in[1].s_addr
#define in_outip in_out[0].s_addr
#define in_outmsk in_out[1].s_addr
.fi
.PP
Recognised values for in_redir:
.LP
.nf
#define NAT_MAP 0
#define NAT_REDIRECT 1
.fi
.PP
.LP
\fBNAT statistics\fP
Statistics on the the number of packets mapped, going in and out are kept,
the number of times a new entry is added and deleted (through expiration) to
the NAT table and the current usage level of the NAT table.
.PP
Pointers to the NAT table inside the kernel, as well as to the top of the
internal NAT lists constructed with the \fBSIOCADNAT\fP ioctls. The table
itself is a hash table of size NAT_SIZE (default size is 367).
.PP
To retrieve the statistics, the \fBSIOCGNATS\fP ioctl must be used, with
the appropriate structure passed by reference, as follows:
.nf
ioctl(fd, SIOCGNATS, struct natstat *)
typedef struct natstat {
u_long ns_mapped[2];
u_long ns_added;
u_long ns_expire;
u_long ns_inuse;
nat_t ***ns_table;
ipnat_t *ns_list;
} natstat_t;
.fi

.SH BUGS
It would be nice if there were more flexibility when adding and deleting
filter rules.
