of your subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside
hosts.
Global/local denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a router, for
example, the local address refers to the IP address of a host when the packet is in the local
network, while the global address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is
traveling in the WAN side.
Note that inside/outside refers to the location of a host, while global/local refers to the IP address

a packet when the packet is still in the local network, while an inside global address (IGA) is the IP

MAX NAT Session Use this field to set a common limit to the number of concurrent NAT sessions
each client computer can have.
If only a few clients use peer to peer applications, you can raise this number to
improve their performance. With heavy peer to peer application use, lower this
number to ensure no single client uses too many of the available NAT sessions.
