Information on Network Address Translation Protocol

The Network Address Translation Protocol provides for translation of IP addresses and TCP port numbers between a local address space and the global address space.
     For outgoing traffic, the Network Address Translation Protocol tracks the destination IP address and TCP port, and uses them to map the source IP address and TCP port.
     For incoming traffic, the Network Address Translation Protocol uses the source IP address and TCP port to map the destination IP address and TCP port.
