As you all have mentioned PAT is a many to one
scenerio vs. NAT a one-to-one. Be careful with these
terms, some people don't use the word PAT and NAT
means different things to different people (masking,
spoofing) PAT is generally a Cisco used phrase.
But why use NAT vs. PAT?
Well though it
NAT like u said is a one to one translation between the external IP and the
internal one (at its purest form)
When u use NAT overloading u r also using PAT, hence u really cannot compare
the twoThey work in cunjunction
I personally like to think of PAT as what most people refer to as NAT
&
I
Can someone tell me any benefits to using NAT instead of PAT? I know with
PAT, you can translate up to 64,000 addresses, but with NAT it is one to
one.
Thanks,

First, you are slightly high on the architectural limit of the number
of port translations that are possible on
The PAT implementation on the PIX does not currently support the ability
to include port information in its static mappings. You need an
additional IP address for every host you want to be globally
accessible. For example, you couldn't reserve port 80 for an internal
web server to be reachable v
Hi Duncan,
With NAT you will need 100 ip address to allow 100 connections or you
can limit the amount of web connectivity by only allowing say 10
connections.
However with PAT you only need one outside address because you are using
the port addresses.
