Understanding Network Address Translation by gilefx is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Network Address Translation (NAT) enables communication between private and public networks by allowing multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address. NAT works by maintaining a translation table that maps private IP addresses to public IP addresses, facilitating both outgoing and incoming traffic. There are three types of NAT: Static NAT, Dynamic NAT, and Overloading NAT (PAT), each serving different needs for IP address management and accessibility.
