A methodology of modifying network address information in IP datagram packet headers while they are in transit across a traffic routing device for the purpose of remapping one IP address space into an [..]

The translation of an Internet Protocol address used within one network to a different IP address known within another network. One network is designated the inside network and the other is the outsid [..]

Also known as NAT Definition Network Address Translation, or NAT, is a process in which home or office internal computers can use the Internet in a private and secure manner. Home Firewalls use NAT al [..]

Process of modifying IP address information while in transit. Supported by Compute and Networking.

NAT translates the IP addresses of computers in a local network to a single IP address. This address is often used by the router that connects the computers to the Internet. In a firewall, the convers [..]

A type of network connection that lets a virtual machine use the IP address and MAC address of the host.

An algorithm that minimises the requirement for globally unique IP addresses. Typically used to enable hosts on a private network to connect to the internet without having unique IP addresses (or Internet-routable IP addresses).

A technology that provides an IP proxy between a private LAN and a public network such as the Internet. Computers on the private LAN can access the Internet through a NAT-capable router which handles [..]

Internet standard used to create a type of firewall by translating (and thereby hiding) internal IP addresses into a different set of IP addresses for external traffic.

Network address translation (NAT) is a router function that enables public and private network connections and allows single IP address communication. While there are many public networks worldwide, t [..]

A technique where IP packets are rewritten on the way through a gateway, enabling many machines behind the gateway to effectively share a single IP address.

NAT is a system that allows an administrator to use one set of IP addresses within a LAN, and another set for external traffic. NAT can shield internal addresses from public networks, and make more efficient use of a few globally unique IP addresses.
