IMO... I agree with the second F5 doc referenced above... Its Source NAT... Because there is nothing secure about NAT... Even if it's implemented securely, NAT does NOT imply security. And NAT'ing does not improve security.
Utilising NAT instead of a traditional packet filter doesn't make it any more secure. NAT is for where you run out of real addresses... Nothing more. Nothing less. Roll on IPv6
