Hi Mikrotik staffa,

The ROS manual/Wiki is very reduced... http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/IP/Services#Service_Ports

You can very likely find the source code for these helper apps by looking at the iptables sources. MT is a linux kernel and the firewall is based on iptables.

Nat helpers inspects packets and substitutes original addresses in IP payload.
