What are the drawbacks of Network Address Translation (NAT) that are overcome by IP masquerading?
How does IP masquerading overcome these drawbacks?
IP masquerading, also known as IP address translation, is a technique that allows private IP addresses to be mapped to a public IP address without causing these same drawbacks. This is because IP masquerading assigns a unique port number to each private IP address, which allows the NAT to differentiate between different connections, even if they are all using the same public IP address.
