#Network

4 billion IP addresses are possible to connect to the internet.

Each router has an IP address but every device connected to the router has a different IP address thanks to NAT.

  • Static NAT
  • Dynamic NAT
  • NAT-PAT

GPT: NAT (Network Address Translation): NAT is like the magician of networking. It works behind the scenes to translate private IP addresses on your local network into a single public IP address that the outside world sees. This helps keep your devices hidden and secure from the big bad internet. NAT also handles directing incoming data to the right device on your network based on the port number.
