Thanks for your answer, and I still have some questions.
(private)---->(masquerade)---->(public)
If I ping public host from private host using this command:
ping 140.113.1.1
What trigger ICMP message? The "ping" binary program?
AND
How masquerade gateway know the original packet port information?
Because I think original packets are in private hosts, masquerade
gateway can't get the original packet.
If I am wrong, please feel free to advice me.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Tom
