Vendor Agnostic, Industry terminology for Policy NAT and Twice NAT
Post Body

I'm writing an article series on NAT, and would like for it to be as vendor agnostic as possible. To include the terminology I use. To that end...

What are the standard / industry accepted / vendor neutral terms for what Cisco calls Policy NAT and Twice NAT?

To ensure we are on the same page, here is how I am defining these two:

Policy NAT - Making a translation decision based upon the source and destination of a packet (as opposed to just the source)

Twice NAT - Translating both sides (source and destination) of the packet as it crosses a NAT device.

A Policy NAT may just translate the Source (making it not a Twice NAT).

(The answer may actually be Policy NAT and Twice NAT, if so, confirmation of the fact would be swell)
