Generation

# Network Address Translation (NAT) **Definition:** NAT is a method where a router modifies IP address information in packet headers as traffic passes between networks, typically mapping multiple private IP addresses from a local network to one or more public IP addresses for internet communication. **Why it matters:** NAT enables IP address conservation by allowing thousands of devices on private networks to share a single public IP address, which became critical as IPv4 addresses grew scarce. It also provides a basic security layer by hiding internal network topology and making devices on private networks not directly accessible from the internet.
