Destination NAT (DNAT)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
DNAT
^^^^
While :ref:`source-nat` changes the source address of packets, DNAT changes
the destination address of packets passing through the router. DNAT is
typically used when an external (public) host needs to initiate a session with
an internal (private) host. A customer needs to access a private service
behind the routers public IP. A connection is established with the routers
public IP address on a well known port and thus all traffic for this port is
rewritten to address the internal (private) host.
