RE: NAT devices not translating privileged ports

[Jean St-Laurent via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

I believe all devices will translate a privileged ports, but it won't translate to the same number on the other side. 
It will translate to an unprivileged port. Is it what you meant or really there are some devices that will not 
translate at all a privileged port?

What are you trying to achieve?

Subject: NAT devices not translating privileged ports

Folks,

While discussing port randomization (in the context of 
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-ntp-port-randomization-06.txt
), it has been raised to us that some NAT devices do not translate the source port if the source port is a privileged 
port (<1024).

Any clues/examples of this type of NATs?

Thanks!
