Hi,

I’ve updated NAT plugin wiki page https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/NAT after 
renaming.

Regards,
Matus

Overall, I think the rename is a good idea.  The Linux guys are used to 
thinking of SNAT as source NAT and DNAT as destination NAT.

Hi,

Hc2vpp uses SNAT API. The rename you suggest is very simple (I guess 
snat->nat44),
so we will not mind if there will be no parallel API.

Subject: [vpp-dev] VPP S-NAT rename

Hi,

The 'S' in VPP's S-NAT plugin name has often been confused with Linux' "Source 
NAT". The 'S' originally stood for "Simple", implying that it was a less 
complex implementation of NAT than the previous VCGN implementation.

Because of this confusion (and possibly valid arguments that it isn't so simple 
anymore) we'd like to rename it.
The feature supports all flavours of NAT44 and NAT64.

The suggested new name is simply NAT. I.e. "VPP NAT".

The proposal is to change the name in the wiki, documentation, folder/files and 
CLI.
I am unsure if it is possible to change the API at this point. We might have to 
put in the new message names and allow those to live in parallel with the old 
ones for a release or two. Does anyone use the SNAT API?

Opinions?

Best regards,
Ole
