What are the two different variations of network address translation (NAT)?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: The two variations of NAT are:
* SNAT-Using SNAT (Static Network Address Translation or Source Network Address Translation), the gateway assigns the same public IP address to a host each time it makes a request to access the Internet. Small home networks with only a single public IP address provided by its ISP use SNAT.
* DNAT or Destination NAT-Using DNAT (Destination Network Address Translation), hosts outside the network address a computer inside the network by a predefined public IP address. When a message sent to the public IP address reaches the router managing DNAT, the destination IP address is changed to the private IP address of the host inside the network. The router must maintain a translation table of public IP addresses mapped to various hosts inside the network.
