/nat/

Also known as: network address translation

Last updated August 8, 2026

Definition

NAT (Network Address Translation) rewrites IP addresses as traffic passes a router, commonly letting many private devices share one public IPv4 address.

Real-World Example

Phones and laptops at home each have private IPs like 192.168.1.x while the whole household appears as one public IP on the internet via NAT.
