Network Address Translation

NAT (Network Address Translation) is a technique that modifies network address information in
IP packet headers, allowing multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address.

Analogy: Using a translator to communicate with someone who speaks a different language.

Why It Matters: It conserves public IP addresses and protects the internal network by hiding private IP addresses.
