NAT Network Address Translator generally applied by a
router, that makes many different IP addresses on
an internal network appear to the Internet as a
single address. For routing messages properly within
your network, each device requires a unique IP
address. But the addresses may not be valid outside
your network. NAT solves the problem. When
devices within your network request information
from the Internet, the requests are forwarded to the
Internet under the router's IP address. NAT
distributes the responses to the proper IP addresses
within your network.
Network A network consists of a collection of two or more
devices, people, or components that communicate
with each other over physical or virtual media. The
most common types of network are:
LAN – (local area network): Computers are in close
distance to one another. They are usually in the
same office space, room, or building.
WAN – (wide area network): The computers are in
different geographic locations and are connected by
telephone lines or radio waves.
