Networking - NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses
on a private LAN to one public address that is sent out to the Internet
by your ISP. This adds a level of security since the address of a PC
connected to the private LAN is never transmitted on the Internet.
A gaming Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) allows one IP address
(computer or device) to be exposed to the Internet for online game
playing or video conferencing.
