Nomadix’ patented iNAT™ (intelligent Network Address Translation) feature contains an advanced, real-time
translation engine that analyzes all data packets being communicated between the private address realm and
the public address realm.
The NSE performs a defined mode of network address translation based on packet type and protocol (for
example, ISAKMP, etc.). UDP packet fragmentation is supported to provide more seamless translation engine
for certificate-based VPN connections.
If address translation is needed to ensure the success of a specific application (for example, multiple users
trying to access the same VPN termination server at the same time), the packet engine selects an IP address
from a freely definable pool of publicly routable IP addresses. The same public IP address can be used as a
source IP to support concurrent tunnels to different termination devices—offering unmatched efficiency in the
utilization of costly public IP addresses. If the protocol type can be supported without the use of a public IP
(for example, HTTP, FTP), our proven Dynamic Address Translation™ functionality continues to be used.
Some of the benefits of iNAT™ include:
Improves the success rate of VPN connectivity by misconfigured users, thus reducing customer
support costs and boosting customer satisfaction.
Maintains the security benefits of traditional address translation technologies while enabling
secure VPN connections for mobile workers accessing corporate resources from a public access
location.
Dynamically adjusts the mode of address translation during the user's session, depending on
the packet type.
Supports users with static private IP addresses (for example, 192.168.x.x) or public
(different subnet) IP addresses without any changes to the client IP settings.
Dramatically heightens the reusability factor of costly public IP addresses.
Information and Control Console
The Nomadix ICC is a HTML-based pop-up window that is presented to subscribers with their Web
browser. The ICC allows subscribers to select their bandwidth and billing options quickly and
efficiently from a simple pull-down menu. For PayPal accounts, the ICC displays a dynamic “time”
field to inform subscribers of the time remaining on their account.
Information and Control Console (ICC)
Additionally, the ICC contains multiple opportunities for an operator to display its branding or the
branding of partners during the user’s session, as well as display advertising banners and present a
choice of redirection options to their subscribers.
