| Short for Network Address Translation, NAT
as specified in RFC 1631 is an Internet standard
that enables a local-area network (LAN) to
use one or more IP addresses for internal traffic and a second for
external. A network NAT is commonly used by home users to allow
multiple computers to easily connect to a broadband connection. NAT is
also used to hide Internet network addresses by using the single NAT
address. Today, there are two
different variants of NAT used. NAPT,
which is short for Network Address Port
Translation; and PAT, which is short for Port Address
Translation.
