Network Address Translation takes a host's private IP address and t it to a non-private, routable address. A simple but important job! a host such as this one on the 10.1.1.0 /24 network couldn’t commi the outside world. <> _ B= =o (The Internet) Class B: 172.16.0.0 /12 Class C: 192.168.0.0 /16 The only thing that’s even the slightest bit tricky about NAT are t Given to the addresses in the overall NAT process. We start with an if address, the address used by hosts on the local network to communit ler hosts on the local network. The inside local address is the adk slated - locally.

The private address is never seen outside the local network, and receiving these packets has no idea NAT has occurred. Actually, the packets doesn’t know about NAT either! The only device is going on is the NAT router. When packets come back in with a routable address, the router see if, another translation is in order.
