The core translates before the IP thread, as Java's NAT threads sit
between card and Ethernet: out, the WAN address and the entry's port (ICMP
keeps its identifier); in, by remote end, port and protocol, else by the
port forwarding, which then makes a dynamic entry; a ping at the WAN
address is answered by the router, packets from outside for the LAN are
dropped, both sides pass the router's firewall, TTL 1 going out gets time
exceeded. Dynamic entries expire at Java's check each second, 300 s times
the delay factor old (55 minutes at 90 %), refreshed only by what comes in.
The home router forwards as a router does.
Measured and not taken: when a LAN endpoint sends to a second remote end,
Java gives it the entry's WAN port but no entry, and the answer stays at
the router; the core adds an entry for each new remote end on that port.
The oracle now records every card of a node (the second card of routers
was missing); the ARP and RIP runs are recorded anew and still match.

Sends to addresses no card has on the new arp-routed network (ping on the
LAN and behind a router, two UDP datagrams, one behind a failing one):
frames and calls. ScenarioNetwork builds routers and their interfaces.
Measured: ARP asks twice, a round trip each, then host unreachable; the
thread that waits is the ping's caller, the router's IP thread, or the
node's transport thread per protocol, which blocks the next send.
