of IP address assigned to WAN interface instead of single IP

only (please refer to section 3.1). Then Broadband Router

allow 8 computers in LAN to become DMZ host.

In general, the mechanism of multiple DMZ host is based the

mapping relation between WAN IP and LAN IP. (shown

below). And these DMZ host IP will skip NAT port translation

handling to gain
