Network Address Translation (NAT) is an essential technology used to enable multiple devices within a local area network to share a single public IP address. NAT provides a layer of security by making it more difficult for outside users to access a network, while at the same time allowing the computers and devices on the network to access the internet. It also helps to conserve public IP addresses by allowing multiple internal devices to use a single external IP address. In this way, NAT reduces management time and cost for connecting to the Internet.
