19. Network gateways

Network gateways connect SDN Private Networks to external IP networks. Currently the service supports NAT gateways which enable outbound Internet connections from SDN Private Networks via SDN routers.

The network gateway service is attached to an SDN router. It can be utilized by one or more SDN private networks attached to the same router. For traffic to land on the network gateway your servers must have the SDN router as their next hop for any destinations you wish to route through the network gateway service.

Available features

Feature	Description
