NAT Definition: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a process used to remap IP addresses in transit, typically to allow multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address for communication over the internet.
NAT (Network Address Translation) is a technique used to modify network address information in packet headers while they are in transit across a traffic routing device. NAT allows a device within a local network to use private IP addresses internally while appearing to external networks with a single public IP address. This helps conserve public IP addresses and adds a layer of security by masking internal network topology from external sources.
