Nat (Network Address Translation) is a networking technology that allows multiple computers on a local area network (LAN) to share a single public IP address. It works by translating the IP address of an incoming packet from a public IP address to a private IP address. This type of translation is usually done by a router, which functions as a gateway between the LAN and the public Internet. Once an incoming packet has been translated, the router forwards the packet to the correct host on the LAN. When the host sends a response, the router performs the reverse translation, changing the private IP address back to the public IP address before forwarding the packet out to the public Internet.
