Abstract
A gateway wirelessly connected to a mobile network receives traffic for a user equipment device (UE) connected to the gateway. A router of the gateway identifies a network slice, from a set of network slices potentially supported by the mobile network, for the traffic, and applies network address translation (NAT) policy rules to select a NAT type from multiple different NAT types to perform for the traffic based on the identified network slice. The router of the gateway performs the selected NAT type for the traffic and forwards the traffic to a gateway modem for transmitting towards the traffic's destination.
