Introduction:
Stands for "Network Address Translation." NAT translates the IP addresses of
computers in a local network to a single IP address.
NAT converts private IP (Internet Protocol) addresses into public IP
addresses. NAT consists of three types:-
1. Static NAT
2. Dynamic NAT
3. Overload NAT/ Natpat
1. Static NAT
In this, we use one to one mapping.
2. Dynamic NAT
In this we use one to many mapping.
3. Overload NAT/ NATPAT
In this we use many to many mapping.
Basically, we can say that NAT is used for security purposes.
Objectives
1. Reuse of Private ip addresses
2. Enhancing security for private networks by keeping internal
addressing private from the external network
3. Connecting a large number of hosts to the global internet using a
smaller number of public address.
Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages
1. The main advantage of NAT is that it can prevent the depletion of
IPV4 addresses.
2. It can provide an additional layer of security by making the
original source and destination addresses hidden.
3. NAT provides increased flexibility when connecting to the public
Internet.
Disadvantages
1. NAT may cause delay in ipv 4 communication.
2. It cause loss of end device to end device IP traceability.
3. It is a processor and memory resource since NAT need to
translate IPV 4 addresses for all incoming and outgoing IP forward
datagrams and to keep the translation details in memory.
