This part contains more information regarding NAT.
11.6.1 NAT Definitions
Inside or outside denotes where a host is located relative to the Zyxel Device, for example, the
computers of your subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside
hosts.
Global or local denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a router, for
example, the local address refers to the IP address of a host when the packet is in the local network,
while the global address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is traveling in the
WAN side.
Note that inside or outside refers to the location of a host, while global/local refers to the IP address of a
host used in a packet. Thus, an inside local address (ILA) is the IP address of an inside host in a packet
when the packet is still in the local network, while an inside global address (IGA) is the IP address of the
same inside host when the packet is on the WAN side. The following table summarizes this information.
