+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B nat
+action allows one to perform NAT without the overhead of conntrack, which is
+desirable if the number of flows or addresses to perform NAT on is large. This
+action is best used in combination with the
+.B u32
+filter to allow for efficient lookups of a large number of stateless NAT rules
+in constant time.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B ingress
+Translate destination addresses, i.e. perform DNAT.
+.TP
+.B egress
+Translate source addresses, i.e. perform SNAT.
+.TP
+.I OLD
+Specifies addresses which should be translated.
+.TP
+.I NEW
+Specifies addresses which
+.I OLD
+should be translated into.
+.SH NOTES
+The accepted address format in
+.IR OLD " and " NEW
+is quite flexible. It may either consist of one of the keywords
+.BR default ", " any " or " all ,
+representing the all-zero IP address or a combination of IP address and netmask
+or prefix length separated by a slash
+.RB ( / )
+sign. In any case, the mask (or prefix length) value of
+.I OLD
+is used for
+.I NEW
+as well so that a one-to-one mapping of addresses is assured.
+
+Address translation is done using a combination of binary operations. First, the
+original (source or destination) address is matched against the value of
+.IR OLD .
+If the original address fits, the new address is created by taking the leading
+bits from
+.I NEW
+(defined by the netmask of
+.IR OLD )
+and taking the remaining bits from the original address.
+
+There is rudimental support for upper layer protocols, namely TCP, UDP and ICMP.
+While for the first two only checksum recalculation is performed, the action
+also takes care of embedded IP headers in ICMP packets by translating the
+respective address therein, too.
