What does the following comment refer to: “NAT destroys the ability to do host-to-host communication over the Internet”?

What will be an ideal response?


NAT destroys the ability to do host-to-host communication, because NAT allows more than one host to share a single IP address, hence, the IP addresses can no longer uniquely identify a host in the Internet now. Also a host in the public network will not be able to initiate a communication with a host behind a NAT device, further more two hosts in two different “NATed” private networks will not be able to communicate with each other.
