NAT (Network Address Translation) is the translation of an Internet Protocol address (IP address) used
within one network to a different IP address known within another network. One network is designated
the inside network and the other is the outside. Typically, a company maps its local inside network
addresses to one or more global outside IP addresses and reverse the global IP addresses of incoming
packets back into local IP addresses. This ensure security since each outgoing or incoming request
must go through a translation process, that also offers the opportunity to qualify or authenticate the
request or match it to a previous request. NAT also conserves on the number of global IP addresses
that a company needs and lets the company to use a single IP address of its communication in the
Internet world.
DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a computer host or small network inserted as a “neutral zone” between a
company private network and the outside public network. It prevents outside users from getting direct
access to a server that has company private data.
