PAT - Port Address Translation
Port Address Translation (PAT), also known as Network Address Port Translation (NAPT), is a type of Network Address Translation (NAT) that allows multiple private IP addresses to be mapped to a single public IP address by using different port numbers. PAT is commonly used to conserve public IP addresses and enable multiple devices within a private network to share a single public IP address when accessing resources on the internet.
The Security+ exam may assess your understanding of NAT and its variants, including PAT. Knowledge of how PAT conserves public IP addresses, its impact on protocols, and the security implications is relevant for the exam.
