014.01.52.1. Can you explain the concept of Network Address Translation (NAT) and its significance in the context of sharing a single IP address with a private network? How does IP masquerading, specifically in Linux, relate to NAT?
NAT is the way used to share a single IP address with a private network and its nearly universal in home and small office networks. NAT doesn't just move packets from one destination to other, it transforms them along the way. The variant of NAT used in Linux is known as IP masquerading.
