What are the drawbacks of Network Address Translation (NAT) that are overcome by IP masquerading?
Can you explain the drawbacks of Network Address Translation (NAT)?
Sure. NAT is used to map a public IP address to a private IP address in order to allow multiple devices to share a single public IP address. However, NAT also has some drawbacks. One of them is that it can cause problems with certain protocols that embed IP addresses in the data.
