Internet Protocols Questions
The role of NAT traversal in internet protocols is to enable communication between devices on a private network (using private IP addresses) and devices on the public internet (using public IP addresses). NAT traversal allows for the translation of IP addresses and ports, allowing packets to be properly routed between the private and public networks. This is necessary because Network Address Translation (NAT) is commonly used to conserve public IP addresses and provide security by hiding the private network behind a single public IP address.
