NAT’D or Translated — the Votes Are in — We Have a WINNER
October 23, 2008 by Greg Ferro · 1 Comment
The poll votes are in, the Magic Gnomes have carefully examined all the ballots (in addition to the their day job of checking all the packets
The poll results are:
NAT’d (61%, 71 Votes)
translated (22%, 25 Votes)
NATted (11%, 13 Votes)
NATted (5%, 6 Votes)
NATTY (1%, 1 Votes)
I hereby decree that the people have spoken and that NAT’d is the official documentation standard.
I look forward to seeing people report that they successfully used the term.

Question: Is It Natted or Is It NAT’D ?
When writing documentation I refer to network address translation as NAT. When a packet or flow undergoes the NAT process, is it Natted or NAT’d ?
I prefer to use NAT’d as this suits my thinking but I would lile to ask you what you would choose before I add it to the Network Dictionary.
