Define PAT.

What will be an ideal response?


Port Address Translation is the most commonly used form of NAT. It handles one-to-many connections to the Internet from the internal network. It uses port numbers to map traffic from specific machines on the network by changing the private source address and port number to something usable on the Internet. The original address and port are recorded in the PAT translation table and swapped for a new one that is used on the Internet. The return traffic destined for the original host is "swapped" back through the table and sent to original machine.
