Port Address Translation

Network Address Translation (NAT), which is present in almost all routers and CPEs, maps private IP addresses to routable or public IP addresses. This feature has advantages such as reuse of private IP addresses but also has disadvantages such as creating “Shadow IT” where network admins do not have knowledge of all devices on their network. This dataset contains network traffic that is double-NATed thus replicating the scenario of shadow IT in an enterprise context.
