Network Address Translation (NAT) is a process in which one or more local IP address is translated into one or more Global IP address and vice versa in order to provide Internet access to the local hosts. Also, it does the translation of port numbers i.e. masks the port number of the host with another port number, in the packet that will be routed to destination. It then makes the corresponding entries of ip address and port number in the NAT table. NAT generally operates on router or firewall.[1]
