Inline Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation

Inline Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation (CGNAT) integrates Network Address Port Translation (NAPT) directly into the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE). Inline CGNAT can be implemented on an individual subscriber basis using RADIUS. This feature enables efficient address and port management through NAT44 (IPv4-to-IPv4) and NAT64 (IPv6-to-IPv4) translations, eliminating the need for external service cards located in the BNG chassis or an external SRX to perform the CGNAT function for BNG subscribers.
