Salut,

I was wondering how the NAT reacts when its translation table is
full... For example, suppose that you've 100 computers behind a NAT
(University) and one (or more) of them engages purposely a lot of
connexion, in order to fill the NAT table, what will occur ?

Unfortunately I cannot test it, that's why I ask you.

Thank you in advance

Norbert
