What is the concept of natting?

Question

Accepted Answer

NATting is the process of modifying IP addresses in packet headers while they are in transit across a traffic routing device.

NAT stands for Network Address Translation.
It is used to conserve IP addresses by allowing multiple devices to share a single public IP address.
NAT can be used to translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses and vice versa.
There are three types of NAT: static NAT, dynamic NAT, and port address translation (PAT).
NAT can also provide a layer of security by hiding the internal network from the public internet.
Example: A router with a public IP address is used to connect multiple devices with private IP addresses to the internet using NAT.
