IPsec NAT Traversal (NAT-T) is a technique that is used to allow two endpoints behind Network Address Translation (NAT) devices to establish a secure IPsec tunnel. NAT-T is used when the two endpoints are behind different NAT devices, such as when one endpoint is in a home network behind a consumer-grade NAT device and the other endpoint is in a corporate network behind a professional-grade NAT device. NAT-T allows the two endpoints to negotiate a secure tunnel by modifying the IPsec protocol to pass the NAT devices.
