Notice Regarding Port Address Translation
Portions of the University of Maryland network utilize Port Address Translation (PAT). As it is possible for multiple systems to simultaneously utilize the same externally visible IP address, an address
alone is not sufficient to locate the source of infringing material.
It is essential that as much identifying information as possible is included in the DMCA notification. Such information should include:
-
IP Addresses: source and destination
-
Network Port Numbers: source and destination
-
Timestamp: accurate time and timezone information is critical
