    Dynamic NAT

    Dynamic NAT is a mechanism with which a private IP address (source) is mapped to a public IP address drawing from a pool of registered (public) IP addresses. NAT addresses from the pool are assigned dynamically. Assigning addresses dynamically also allows a few public IP addresses to be used by several private hosts in contrast with an equal- sized pool required by source static NAT.

    For more information about dynamic address translation, see RFC 2663, IP Network Address Translator (NAT) Terminology and Considerations
