What is NAT?
Network Address Translation (NAT) is the conversion of an Internet Protocol address (IP address) used
within one network to a different IP address within another network. One network is designated the
inside
network and the other is the
outside
network.
Network Address Translation (NAT) occurs when there is a translation among an Internet Protocol (IP
address) used within one network (designated as inside network) to a different IP addresses within another
network (designated as outside network). Network Address Translators (NATs) allow companies to
decrease the number of global IP addresses. This enables companies to communicate with a single IP
address (or more than one IP address). For example, a company can provide its clients with one IP
address, allowing access to the company’s firewall only. This IP address is not a “real” address on the
company’s internal network, but it is successfully translated to the correct IP location through NAT
(i.e., NAT router). Therefore, the company controls access through firewalls and provides multiple IP
addresses to outside customers without excessive limited resources, or “global” Internet IP protocols.
