New tutorial: Network Address Translation (NAT)

New Tutorial: Network Address Translation
We’re pleased to offer one of the lessons in the new online course module for free as a tutorial.
In this lesson, we’ll explore how private IPv4 addresses used in-building and a public address required for Internet communications can be joined together with a software function called Network Address Translation.

New Online Course Module: IP Packet Networks, Addresses and Routers

New Online Course Module: IP Packet Networks, Addresses and Routers
In this module, we concentrate on the fundamentals of IP packet networks, routers and IP addresses.
Packet networks embody two main ideas: bandwidth on demand and packet switching. First, we’ll recap channelized TDM and its limitations, then understand statistical TDM or bandwidth on demand. Next, we’ll understand how routers implement the network with packet-switching, that is, relaying packets from one circuit to another, and how routers are a point of control for network security. We’ll introduce the term Customer Edge (CE).
Then we’ll cover the many aspects of IP addressing: IPv4 address classes, dotted decimal notation, static vs. dynamic addresses, DHCP, public vs. private addresses, Network Address Translation, IPv6 overview and finish with IPv6 address allocation and assignment.
