What does NAT mean?<\/h2>\n

Each device has its unique IP address. However, when one device carries a private IP address representing multiple devices, it is called Network Address Translation<\/strong>. It is a process that enables one device’s IP address to represent a few other devices while connecting to a public address, that is the internet.<\/p>\n

What Happens While Employing NAT?<\/h2>\n

A computer general connects to a router or a firewall to get access to a public network (internet). During its process, NAT allows the router or the mediator to represent all the devices connected to it. <\/p>\n

This way the connecting devices retain the privacy of their addresses. Through NAT private addresses access public spaces through unregistered addresses, which mostly belong to the mediator between them and the internet. <\/p>\n

Why Is It Used?<\/h2>\n

The main reason behind employing this process is to reduce the number of addresses in public use, for both security and economic reasons. However, apart from security reasons, NAT was adopted because of the shortage of IP addresses. <\/p>\n

The sudden rise of the internet led to the creation of billions of unique IP addresses. However, not all such addresses were eligible for communication (with the internet), which left just a few billion addresses eligible for use.<\/p>\n

How Does It Work?<\/h2>\n

NAT allows the agent device, either the router or a firewall to be the agent connecting the devices to the internet. This way the devices stay protected under the agent’s unregistered address and also use the internet.<\/p>\n

Depending on Their Functions, NATs Are of Multiple Types:<\/h2>\n
