Network Address Translation (NAT) is a mechanism for

translating an internal IP address or network address into a single

globally unique IP address.

There are several benefits of using NAT, such as internal address

re-use; use of unregistered addresses; the ability to hide internal

addresses; and not needing to re-address the internal network

when connecting to the internet or a corporate network.

For a Nautica product, the most important benefit is the ability to

be assigned an IP address by a service provider, without the need

to reconfigure the local network.

For more general information on NAT, refer to Chapter 1.
