'''Network Address Translation''' (NAT) is the process of mapping multiple private IP addresses to a lesser number of public ones. Typically, this is used in such a way that a collection of devices on a [[Local area network|private network]] are connected to the Internet under a single IP address.<ref>https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/network-address-translation-nat/26704-nat-faq-00.html</ref>  This process was designed largely to slow the depletion of IPv4 addresses which could be publicly registered.<ref>http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=25273</ref><ref>https://whatismyipaddress.com/nat</ref>
