Egress PE NAT via a single centralized router allows L3VPN customers to access the internet. The NAT operation maintains a table that includes a field to identify the inside VRF of a translation. This is crucial for distinguishing between different customer VPNs that may use overlapping IP address spaces. By having this field, the NAT process can correctly associate each internal IP with its respective VRF and outside global IP address1.
