NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT–PMP) is an Internet protocol for automatically configuring port forwarding on a network gateway device running a NAT router. It was developed by Apple Inc. and designed to be used with the Network Address Translation (NAT) technology, available in Mac OS X versions 10.2 and later, and other operating systems. NAT–PMP gives applications that require the use of a public IP address the ability to configure, or “punch,” ports through a local NAT gateway.
