Study Notes
Home Network and NAT
-
A home network consists of devices with private IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3, 192.168.0.4) that are not visible on the Internet.
-
The home router (192.168.0.1) acts as a NAT (Network Address Translation) device that translates private IP addresses to a single public IP address (157.193.0.1) visible on the Internet.
NAT Translation
- When a device on the home network sends a request to a web server (172.217.17.131), the NAT device translates the private IP address to the public IP address.
- The translation is done using a translation table that maps the private IP addresses to the public IP address.
Internet Access
- The home router acts as a gateway to the Internet, allowing devices on the home network to access the Internet.
- The public IP address (157.193.0.1) is the only IP address visible on the Internet.
Network Components
- A switch is a network device that connects devices within the home network.
- The ISP (Internet Service Provider) network provides access to the Internet.### Port Forwarding
- Port forwarding allows access to a specific device or service within a private network from the internet.
- It requires configuration on the router to forward incoming requests to the correct device and port.
NAPT (Network Address and Port Translation)
- NAPT is a technique used to allow multiple devices to share a single public IP address.
- It translates both the IP address and the port number of incoming and outgoing network traffic.
Home Network Configuration
- A home network typically consists of a router, switch, and multiple devices connected to the router.
- The router is connected to the ISP network and has a public IP address.
- Each device on the home network has a private IP address.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
- NAT is a technique used to allow multiple devices to share a single public IP address.
- It translates the IP address of incoming and outgoing network traffic.
- NAT is used to conserve public IP addresses and improve security.
Translation Table
- A translation table is used to map private IP addresses and ports to public IP addresses and ports.
- The table is used by the router to forward incoming requests to the correct device and port.
Port Forwarding Examples
- Example 1: Port forwarding for a web server on port 80.
- Example 2: Port forwarding for two web servers on ports 80 and 8080.
- Example 3: Port forwarding for a web server on port 4001.
Real-World Examples
- Examples of port forwarding on home routers from TP-Link, Proximus, and Telenet are shown.
- These routers provide a web interface to configure port forwarding.
Nested NAT
- Nested NAT occurs when multiple NAT devices are used in a network.
- This can lead to complexity and difficulties in configuring port forwarding.
Home Network: NAT and NAPT
- NAT and NAPT are used in home networks to allow multiple devices to share a single public IP address.
- Examples of how NAT and NAPT are used in home networks are shown.
Understand the concepts of NAT and TCP/IP in a home network by analyzing the src and dst IP addresses, ports, and payloads. Identify the roles of the router and ISP in the communication process.
