PAT is similar to port forwarding except that an incoming packet with destination port
(external port) is translated to a packet different destination port (an internal port). The Internet
Service Provider (ISP) assigns a single IP address to the edge device. When a computer logs on to
the Internet, this device assigns the client a port number that is appended to the internal IP address,
giving the computer a unique IP address.
