What is SUA? When should I use SUA?
SUA (Single User Account) is a unique feature supported by Prestige router which allows multiple people to
access Internet concurrently for the cost of a single user account.
When Prestige acting as SUA receives a packet from a local client destined for the outside Internet, it replaces
the source address in the IP packet header with its own address and the source port in the TCP or UDP header
with another value chosen out of a local pool. It then recomputed the appropriate header checksums and
forwards the packet to the Internet as if it is originated from Prestige using the IP address assigned by ISP.
When reply packets from the external Internet are received by Prestige, the original IP source address and
TCP/UDP source port numbers are written into the destination fields of the packet (since it is now moving in
the opposite direction), the checksums are recomputed, and the packet is delivered to its true destination. This is
because SUA keeps a table of the IP addresses and port numbers of the local systems currently using it.
What is the difference between NAT and SUA?
NAT is a generic name defined in RFC 1631 'The IP Network Address Translator (NAT)'. SUA (Internet
Single User Account) is ZyXEL's implementation and trade name for functioning PAT which is a specific type
of NAT. SUA (or PAT for NAT) translates address into port mapping.
The primary motivation for RFC 1631 is that there is not enough IP address to go around. In addition, many
corporations simply did not bother to obtain legal (globally unique) IP addresses for their networks and now
finding themselves unable to connect to the Internet.
