devices such as computers, laptops and smart phones connecting to the Internet. These systems act as an agent_x000D_
between the Internet and a private network, e.g. user's local area network. This means that only a single IP_x000D_
address is required to represent one or more computers (users) to the rest of the Internet. Thus, NATs/Proxies_x000D_
are used for many reasons including a solution to the shortage of IPv4 addresses, security, or anonymity. In this_x000D_
research, our goal is to explore whether we can find specific patterns in the network traffic that will enable us_x000D_
to identify NAT/Proxy like behaviors and the different users and services behind them. In doing so, we aim to_x000D_
differentiate malicious usage of these systems from legitimate usage., program purpose french : The usage of Network Address Translation (NAT) and/or Network Proxy systems is very common among the_x000D_
