multiple machines to share a single IP address. Use NAPT if your
LAN encompasses multiple devices, a topology that necessitates
port translation in addition to address translation.

route is superior to another, considering parameters such as bandwidth, delay,
and more.

of LAN devices asking to join multicast groups.
