9.2.1 Static (One to One) NAT

Static NAT maps an internal host address to a globally valid Internet

address (one-to-one). The IP address in each packet is directly translated

with a globally valid IP contained in the mapping. Figure 9.1 illustrates the

IP address mapping relationship between the four private IP addresses

and the four globally valid IP addresses.

This mapping is static. This mapping will not change

over time until this mapping is manually changed by the

administrator. This means that a host will always use the

same global valid IP address for all its outgoing traffic.

Valid IP Addresses
