This object is an 'alias' name for the NAT instance as
specified by a network manager, and provides a non-volatile
'handle' for the instance.
On the first instantiation of a NAT instance, the value of
natInstanceAlias associated with that instance is the
zero-length string. As and when a value is written into an
instance of natInstanceAlias through a network management
set operation, then the agent must retain the supplied value
in this obejct instance associated with the same interface
for as long as that NAT instance remains instantiated,
including across all re-initializations/reboots of the
network management system, including those which result in a
change of the interface's natInstanceIndex value.
An example of the value which a network manager might store
in this object for a NAT instance is the name/identifier of
the interface that brings in internal traffic for this NAT
instance or the name of the VRF for internal traffic.
An agent may choose to provide read-only access if the agent
itself assigns an identifier for the NAT instance. An agent
which supports write access to this object is required to
keep the value in non-valite storage, but it may limit the
length of new values depending on how much storage is
already occupied by the current values for other
NAT instances.
