## NAT

**Network address translation (NAT)** is a method of remapping an IP address space into another by modifying network address information in the IP header of packets while they are in transit across a traffic routing device.[1] The technique was originally used to avoid the need to assign a new address to every host when a network was moved, or when the upstream Internet service provider was replaced, but could not route the networks address space. It has become a popular and essential tool in conserving global address space in the face of IPv4 address exhaustion. One Internet-routable IP address of a NAT gateway can be used for an entire private network.

Today, network address translators, or NATs, are everywhere. Their ubiquitous
41
+
adoption was not promoted by design or planning but by the continued growth of
42
+
the Internet, which places an ever-increasing demand not only on IP address space
43
+
but also on other functional requirements that network address translation is perceived to facilitate. This article presents a personal perspective on the history of
44
+
NATs, their pros and cons in a retrospective light, and the lessons we can learn
