IP masquerading for all IP protocols that are based on TCP, UDP, or ICMP and communicate exclusively through ports. One example of this type of uncomplicated protocol is the one the World Wide Web is based on: HTTP.
Individual IP protocols do use TCP or UDP, but do not, however communicate exclusively through ports. This type of protocol calls for a corresponding special procedure for IP masquerading. Among the group of protocols supported by IP masquerading in the LANCOM are:
- FTP (using the standard ports)
- H.323 (to the same extent as used by Microsoft Netmeeting)
- PPTP
- IPSec
- IRC
