We have a router running NAT with a NAT stats output as below (changing ip address info for security reasons). Cisco docs say the last stat of 68064 misses is
"Number of failed allocations from the pool.".
Would I be correct in thinking that this means
the pool was depleted and so a session could not be
created, as opposed to a translation miss, where a
translation is not in table and so is created ?
I.e. the single ip address for NAT is not enough ?
