单选题 Network Address Translation (NAT)is an Internet standard that enables a local-area network to use one set IP addresses for internal traffic and another set of( 此空作答 )IP addresses for external traffic. The main use of NAT is to limit the number of public IP addresses that an organization or company must use of both, for both economy and (  ) purposes. NAT remaps an IP address space into another by modifying network address information in the(  )header of packets while they are in transit across a traffic routing device. It has become an essential tool in conserving global address space in the face of (  ) address exhaustion. When a packet traverses outside the local network, NAT converts the private IP address to a public IP address. If NAT runs out of public addresses,the packets will be dropped and (  )"host unreachable"packets will be sent.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】网络地址转换(networkaddress Translation,NAT)是一种因特网标准,它使局域网能够将一组IP地址用于内部通信,而将另一组公网IP地址用于外部通信。NAT的主要用途是限制一个组织或公司必须使用的公共IP地址的数量,以达到经济和安全的目的。NAT通过修改数据包IP报头中的网络地址信息,将一个IP地址空间重新映射到另一个IP地址空间,而这些数据包正在通过流量路由设备传输。在IPv4地址耗尽的情况下,它已经成为保存全局地址空间的一个重要工具。当一个数据包在本地网络外传输时,NAT将私有IP地址转换为公共IP地址。如果NAT用完公共地址,数据包将被丢弃,并且ICMP“主机不可访问”数据包将被发送。
