Comment (by anonymous):
If you want to know, how doing big vendors /like cisco/ HW NAT, for
example on their a9k routers CGN module, download the CGN module's
software and extract/analyse it. It uses a lot of general purpose intel
x86 CPUs and a special NAT binary handle those CPU cores. In cisco IOS
there are a lot of optimizations as in MikroTik RoS and maybe in Linux
kernel too. But the Linux kernel's goal is not providing routing platform
but only a good base for it like in MikroTik RoS.
NAT ASICs has a lot of limitations or that ASIC is not a cheap one.
