    Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address to access the internet. It maps private IP addresses to public IP addresses in a one-to-one or many-to-one correspondence, depending on the NAT mode used. NAT is commonly implemented to conserve public IPv4 addresses and improve network security by hiding private addressing schemes.

    NAT Links
    • http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/556/nat-
    cisco.shtml
    • http://www.howstuffworks.com/nat2.htm
    Why?
    • 32-bit addresses
    • Not all available (private, reserved,
    multicast, network/broadcast addresses,
    etc… )
    • Larger addresses (IPv6) will take time
    • Private addressing
    Topology
    NAT Modes
    • Classic: Private to Public IP translation
    • Overload: Multiple private to single public
    using different ports
    Classic
    • One to one correspondence between a
    private and a public IP address is
    established
    • Router keeps track of these in a table and
    translates back returning traffic
    Overload
    • All private addresses are translated into the
    same public address but different port
    numbers are used.
    • Table this time also contains the ports
    Additional Reasons to use NAT
    • Security: end IP addresses are not available
    => only connections initiated by inside are
    possible
    Exception: Static NAT (for servers)
    • Administration: migrating networks and
    multi-homes configurations are made easier
