NAT explanation

 NAT, or Network Address Translation, is a technology used to allow multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address.

With NAT, each device on the private network is assigned a unique private IP address. When a device on the private network wants to communicate with a device on the Internet, NAT maps the private IP address of the device to the public IP address of the network. This allows multiple devices on the private network to share a single public IP address, and helps to conserve the limited number of public IP addresses available.

There are two main types of NAT:

  1. Static NAT: This type of NAT maps a single private IP address to a single public IP address. This is typically used when a device on the private network needs to be accessible from the Internet, such as a web server or a remote desktop.

  2. Dynamic NAT: This type of NAT maps multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address. This is typically used in networks where multiple devices need to access the Internet, but only a single public IP address is available. Dynamic NAT maps private IP addresses to the public IP address dynamically, as needed.

In addition, there is another type of NAT called Port Address Translation (PAT), which allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address by mapping multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address, but using different port numbers. This allows multiple devices to communicate with the Internet using the same public IP address, but with different port numbers to distinguish between the different devices.

Overall, NAT is an important technology that allows networks to conserve the limited number of public IP addresses available, while still allowing multiple devices to access the Internet. The type of NAT that is best suited to a particular network will depend on the network's requirements, such as the number of devices that need to access the Internet, and the level of security required.

The wiring day (Raul Garcia)

This wednesday we had an special class. Instead of having or usual AWS lections, we had to make lots of Ethernet cables, wich, might sound boring, but sure it wasnt. We started slow, there was more than 2 hours left, and the recess was just around the corner, we only had to make 28 wires, which had to be more than 5 meters long. Only a few cables were made when the recess started, when we came back we kept going with our chore Every single wire had to be made with caution, just a small mistake and all the process had to be started again, which made the work quite stressful. Luckly I didnt make any mistake, and managed to make 4 cables. The last hour of the work was the worst, only then was when we realiced how many of them were missing, so all of us, tired and stressed started to make as many as possible to reach the goal. At the end all of the class managed to make 25 in total, which wasnt 28, but close enough to be ok. At least for me it was a really fun experience, and we will have

Today's class (Raúl García)

 I started my day with AWS class, we had to make diferent virtual machines on amazon web services, so we could put a web page, on which you had to register to see it. I wasn't sure about how to make the "EC2 instances" so I had to watch a YouTube video, I didn't had enought time, but next week we will have more time. Next we had english class, we started with an exam, for me it was easy, so I didn't had any problem there. After that the teacher presented the new project we had to do, on which que have to make a job interview with a teammate in two weeks. I will make the project with Samuel, he is one of my best friends here in puenteuropa, we will do great for sure!
