NAT is necessary for hosts on a private network as:-

Hosts on internet know how to connect to the router, but they don't know anything about the private network,
The hosts on private network need no special configuration, router is their default gateway.

NAT transforms the data from internet to be readable for hosts and vice-versa.

NAT is necessary for hosts on a private network to communicate with the internet due to the following reasons:

Limited Knowledge of Private Networks:

Hosts on the internet know how to connect to the router, but they lack information about the private network itself.

Default Gateway Configuration:

Hosts on the private network require no special configuration; the router serves as their default gateway.

Address Transformation:

NAT plays a crucial role in transforming data between the internet and private network to ensure compatibility and readability for both hosts.
