Hi guys,

I want to study the NAT implementation of Linux Kernel, I'm not familiar with it before.

Can you kindly give me some advice about How to analyse the whole Linux NAT architecture ?

Or is there some articles about Linux NAT implementation?

(I have googled it, but the result is not satisfied.)

Any advice is appreciated:)
