Network Address Translation
Network address translation rewrites packet addresses as traffic crosses a network boundary. Outbound NAT lets multiple private hosts use a shared public address, while connection tracking directs response traffic back to the originating host.
Also known as: NAT
Why it matters
Address translation changes how private workloads appear to external services.
Practical example
Account for NAT processing costs when large dependency downloads traverse a gateway.
