The document explains Network Address Translation (NAT), which is used to map private IP addresses to public IP addresses due to the shortage of IPv4 addresses. It outlines the reserved ranges for private IP addresses and differentiates between static NAT and dynamic NAT. Additionally, it describes how NAT facilitates internet access for devices within private networks by translating their private addresses to public ones.

Private vs Public IP Addresses


Whatever connects directly into Internet must have
public (globally unique) IP address
There is a shortage of public IPv4 address
So Private IP addresses can be used within a
private network
Three address ranges are reserved for private
usage
[Link]/8
[Link]/16 to [Link]/16
[Link]/24 to [Link]/24
A private IP is mapped to a Public IP, when the
machine has to access the Internet
NAT
NAT (Network Address Translation) Maps Private
IPs to Public IPs
It is required because of shortage of IPv4 Address

Static NAT : Maps unique Private IP to unique Public
IP
Dynamic NAT : Maps Multiple Private IP to a Pool of
Public IPs (Port Address Translation : Maps a Public
IP and Port Number to a service in Private IP)
