Nope, just the target Adress is rewritten (by routing). DNAT is |
| 18 |
Destination NAT! I.e. the target IP of the packet is rewritten. Since |
| 19 |
the Linksys is the default gateway, packets can keep their source IP |
| 20 |
address. Of course, the source MAC address will be rewritten to the |
| 21 |
router's -- but that's got nothing to do with NAT but routing instead. |
