Study Notes
Evolution of Internet Connectivity
- The increasing use of NAT (Network Address Translation) is primarily due to the growing number of users and the need for more efficient IP address allocation.
Initial Internet Connection
- Users were initially connected to the Internet through dial-up lines, which used analog modems to establish a connection.
Current Internet Connection
- Currently, users are connected to the Internet through broadband lines, such as DSL, cable, and fiber optic connections.
NAT Definition
- NAT stands for Network Address Translation, a technique used to allow multiple devices to share a single public IP address when accessing the Internet.
Initial IP Address Assignment
- Initially, IP addresses were assigned to users connected through dial-up lines using dynamic IP allocation, where IP addresses were assigned on a temporary basis.
