Port address translation (PAT) is a type of network address translation (NAT) that maps a network's private internal IPv4 addresses to a single public IP address. NAT is a process that routers use to translate internal, nonregistered IP addresses to external, registered IP addresses.

Port address translation (PAT) is a function that allows multiple users within a private network to make use of a minimal number of IP addresses. Its basic function is to share a single IP public address between multiple clients who need to use the Internet publicly.

Port Address Translation (PAT) is a network technology that allows multiple devices on a local area network (LAN) to share a single public IP address for accessing the Internet. This is achieved by assigning unique port numbers to each session initiated by the devices.

Port Address Translation (PAT), also known as NAT overload, is a type of Network Address Translation (NAT) that allows multiple devices on a local network (with private IP addresses) to share a single public IP address to access external networks, such as the internet.

Port Address Translation (PAT), often referred to as NAT Overload, is a specialized type of NAT that allows many devices on a local area network (LAN) to share a single public IP address.
