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.

Every packet that comes in goes through its node's IP thread (UDP, TCP) or
ICMP thread (ICMP), as Java's IPThread and ICMPThread: deliver, answer an
echo request or forward, one after the other; while one waits for ARP, the
next wait behind it. A packet a node sends to itself is delivered at once,
as Java's IP.senden does. The transport send threads and these are one
mechanism now (handToProtocolThread).
ArpRun has three stories through the router (routedUdpBehind,
routedPingBesideUdp, routedPingBehindPing); the oracle writes ICMP frames
with type, code, addresses and sequence number. All seven ArpRun stories
match Java FILIUS.
Measured and not taken: Java's ARP wakes one waiter with notify, not the
one whose answer came; the core wakes all that wait for the address.
