What does Network Address Translation (NAT) do?

Did you know at home or on a corporate LAN (Local Area Network), we can only use private IP address space defined in RFC 1918?  How can we communicate over the Internet if we can't use public IP addresses on our LAN devices?  🤔

Well, I am glad you asked.  I just dropped a new video on my YouTube channel, and in this video, I explain how NAT (Network Address Translation) allows private IP address devices on the LAN to communicate over the Internet.  I start with a high-level overview of NAT, then jump into NAT concepts and terminology.  By the time you are done watching this video, you'll have a fairly good understanding of the terms like "Inside Local Address," "Inside Global Address," "Outside Global Address," and "Outside Local Address."  🤓

This video is part of my popular Tech Nuggets series.  The goal of tech nuggets is to cut to the chase & explain tech concepts in the form of small nuggets that you can consume right before walking into a customer meeting or a job interview  🧳
