VENDOR chip data sources offer PDF | IPSec and NAT compatibility analysis and solutions
Network security protocol IPSec (IP Security) and TLP181 datasheet and Network Address Translation NAT (Network Address Translation) has been widely used, but if the words run together, will encounter many problems. From the perspective of IP, NAT to the IPs were revised lower, to the IP protocol, it is a departure; and TLP181 price and from the application point of view, network managers have to deal with the problem of network addresses, NAT allows the user to take a variety of ways to their own network and TLP181 suppliers and the host of the external public network hiding is a good tool, now, whether large or small and medium enterprises are in use. And NAT, like, IPSec: is also a good tool, he can safely allow users to connect through the Internet to a remote terminal. However, the IPSec protocol architecture itself and the lack of support for IPSec, NAT devices, when the IPSec and NAT will be running with a lot of problems. To solve the problem of coexistence between the two, it is necessary for IPSec and NAT have a certain understanding.

Why does the LM1117 data sheet specifically specify tantalum capacitors?
I'm planning on using an LM1117 to regulate 5v to 3.3v. Looking at (any of the several) data sheets for the LM1117, they recommend 10uF Tantalum capacitors between input and ground and between output and ground. I understand the need for the capacitors, but it's not clear to me why these should specifically be Tantalum. I have a bunch of electrolytic 10uF capacitors sitting around here, whereas if it does for some reason need to be Tantalum, I'll have to order those.
Why are they so specific about using tantalum capacitors?
The LM1117 datasheet provides clear guidance on the essential and desirable characteristics of the input and output capacitors. Any capacitor which meets these specifications is suitable. Tantalum is an OK choice but is not the best choice. There are various factors and cost is one. Tantalum offers OK cost per capability at capacitances from about 10 uF up. The output capacitor is "safe" against spikes in most cases. The input capacitor is at risk from "bad behavior" from other parts of the system. Spikes above rated value will produce a (literally) flaming melt down. (Smoke, flame, noise, bad smell and explosion all optional -
I have seen one tantalum cap do all of these in turn :-))
