Lesson 5.3 Network Address Translation

As well as understanding the different types of routing algorithms, you must be able to install routing devices to an appropriate place in the network. This lesson will help you to understand the role of routers placed at the network edge or perimeter. On IPv4 networks, this role involves the use of Network Address Translation (NAT) to manage communications between public and private address schemes.

As you study this lesson, answer the following questions: 

  • Why is there a requirement for network address translation?
  • What is the difference between static NAT and dynamic NAT? 
  • What is port forwarding? 
  • What is the difference between NAT and PAT?
