Address Restricted Cone NAT

  • a type of Dynamic NAT
  • works in the same way as a Full Cone NAT but applies additional restrictions based on the source IP address
  • the internal client must first have sent packets to IP address X before it can receive packets originating from IP address X
  • in terms of restrictions, the only requirement is that packets come in on the mapped port and from an IP address that the internal client has sent packets to
