Natting and it's types

Question

Accepted Answer

NATting stands for Network Address Translation. It is a technique used in networking to translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses.

NATting is used to conserve public IP addresses by allowing multiple devices to share a single public IP address.
There are three types of NATting: Static NAT, Dynamic NAT, and Port Address Translation (PAT).
Static NAT maps a private IP address to a specific public IP address.
Dynamic NAT maps a private IP address to an available public IP address from a pool of addresses.
PAT maps multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address using different port numbers.
Example: Static NAT can be used to map an internal web server with a private IP address to a public IP address for external access.
