NAT can be thought oI as a special Iorwarding service that can read one type oI IP address and figure out what the corresponding address is Ior the other type. 6ince the applications that Pany coPpanies rely on to run their businesses are using IPv4 in the data centre and caPpus (LAN), there is no pressing need to Pigrate, as long as they can continue to connect to their custoPers and suppliers over the Internet via an I6P-supplied NAT service.”
