Which CORRECTLY describes the network address translation?
A) By utilizing private IP ranges for internal nodes, overall address space available to network administrators for allocation gets smaller.
B) If the internal network is on private IPs, current IP assignment to network nodes is more easily affected by such circumstantial changes as ISP changes.
C) The allocation of IP space to a particular subnet can be more generous expecting future business growth.
D) The packet forwarding performance of the border router is not affected by the usage of private IPs.
E) With the use of private IPs, deploying time-sensitive applications such as IP telephony and video streaming becomes easier.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows a network to use private IP addresses internally and still communicate with the internet. By using NAT, a network can use a single or a few public IP addresses to represent multiple private IP addresses, thus conserving public IP addresses. This makes it possible to allocate IP space more generously within the private network, anticipating future growth, without concern for the scarcity of public IP addresses.
