IP address translation from the LAN. Two 
standard types of NAT are Network Address 
Port Translation (NAPT) and Basic NAT.

corporate networks where the LAN addresses 
are sparsely allocated.

Internet sites, and the responses received from 
the sites are transmitted back to you over the 
satellite. 

Network Address Translation (NAT)- a method
