Yes, but that wasn't what the text was trying to get to. However, given your
comment, it is clear we need to clarity the point that is being made. I would
therefore propose changing the second sentence to:
<updated text>
11. NAT Considerations
[...]
In the second case, two or more WTPs are deployed behind the same NAT
system. Here, the AC would receive multiple connection requests from the
same IP address, and therefore cannot use the WTP's IP address alone to
bind the CAPWAP control and data channel. The CAPWAP Data Check state,
which establishes the data plane connection and communicates the CAPWAP
Data Channel Keepalive, includes the Session Identifier message element,
which is used to bind the control and data plane. Use of the Session
Identifier message element enables the AC to match the control and data
plane flows from multiple WTPs behind the same NAT system (multiple WTPs
sharing the same IP address).
