What is Network Address Translation (NAT)? Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method used in networking to modify network address information in the header of IP packets while they are in transit across a traffic routing device. The primary purpose of NAT is to enable multiple devices on a local network to access the internet using a single public… Read More »
