 * It seems another user updated the article, but I want to note the fact that the book was published in March 2007, and this article existed well before that date. The December 2006 version of this article, which pre-dates the book, already included some of the text which appeared in the book. It may be a case of the author of the book using Wikipedia material without attribution. Mind  matrix  14:12, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Packet Mangling isn't something negative
Packet mangling can mean a variety of things, not just intentionally crafting a packet that circumvents a firewall etc. Changing a packets contents has a legitimate use for NAT/PAT.
