Best Answer

There is no difference between port mapping and port forwarding and both are equal and in some router they are used instead of the other one .

The meaning of these names is that "New connections from the outside to a certain port or port range go to a designated LAN machine. The ports are determined by the kind of server you want to run, (e.g. 80 for a web server) and the IP is the private LAN IP of your web server."
