IP Addressing and Subnetting Including IPv6
A clear, comprehensive guide to IP addressing, including technical details on IP message formats and standards.
TABLE OF CONTENTS IP Addressing and Subnetting Including IPv6
References & Resources
It's impossible to cover every detail of NAT, proxies, and firewalls in a chapter, so we have provided a number of resources to which you may refer. Some of them are general, like the RFCs, and some are very specific, such as Web pages at Cisco about their NAT software. Most likely, you will want to scan through the list and look for topics that are of interest to you. In addition, if you are planning to implement one of the technologies mentioned here, you will need to read the relevant documentation, also referenced here.
RFCs
<a class="url"> href="http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc1918.html"> target="_top">http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc1918.html</a>
RFC 1918 is the current RFC covering private address space and NAT. The official documentation for the private address ranges (10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x 172.31.x.x, 192.168.x.x) is located here. In addition, the top of the document contains links to related and obsolete RFCs.
A related RFC that isn't referenced in RFC1918,
<a class="url"> href="http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc1631.html"> target="_top">http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc1631.html</a>
is aimed at NAT developers and implementers.
IP Masquerade/Linux

This is the main place to start looking for IP Masquerade documentation. On this page, you'll find a changelog, a link to the HOWTO:
<a class="url"> href="http://members.home.net/ipmasq/ipmasq-HOWTO.html"> target="_top">http://members.home.net/ipmasq/ipmasq-HOWTO.html</a>
which links to pages on how to join a IP Masquerade mailing list, and links to locations to get IP Masquerade handlers. The links on the page at the time of this writing were broken (may be fixed by the time you check the main page), but this one works:
