NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4
A network router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding
network traf
fi
c from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased
since most routers are pre-con
fi
gured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).
