About this document
Understanding Network Address Translation by Krishanu Mondal is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address to communicate on the internet. It works by translating the private IP addresses of devices to the public IP address assigned to the router. When a private device sends a packet, the router replaces the source IP with its public address and port number. This conserves IP addresses, provides security by hiding internal addresses, and simplifies network configuration.
