SYMPTOMS
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) mappings on a Network Address Translation (NAT) server are not always deleted in a timely manner. Subsequently, some UDP traffic may be incorrectly redirected for a short time, causing the traffic to be temporarily unavailable.



CAUSE
The NAT driver does not delete the UDP mappings that are specified in the deletion request. The mappings are physically removed only at a certain interval. This may result in a packet being directed to the wrong destination.
