NAT | Network Address Translator generally applied by a router, that | |
| makes many different IP addresses on an internal network | |
| appear to the Internet as a single address. For routing messages | |
| properly within your network, each device requires a unique IP | |
| address. But the addresses may not be valid outside your | |
| network. NAT solves the problem. When devices within your | |
| network request information from the Internet, the requests are | |
| forwarded to the Internet under the router's IP address. NAT | |
| distributes the responses to the proper IP addresses within your | |
| network. | |
Network | A network consists of a collection of two or more devices, people, | |
| or components that communicate with each other over physical | |
| or virtual media. The most common types of network are: | |
| LAN – (local area network): Computers are in close distance to | |
| one another. They are usually in the same office space, room, or | |
| building. | |
| WAN – (wide area network): The computers are in different | |
| geographic locations and are connected by telephone lines or | |
| radio waves. | |
NWay Protocol | A network protocol that can automatically negotiate the highest | |
| possible transmission speed between two devices. | |
