Network address translationEn réseau informatique, on dit qu'un routeur fait du network address translation (NAT, « traduction d'adresse réseau » ou parfois « translation d'adresse réseau ») lorsqu'il fait correspondre des adresses IP à d'autres adresses IP. En particulier, un cas courant est de permettre à des machines disposant d'adresses privées qui font partie d'un intranet et ne sont ni uniques ni routables à l'échelle d'Internet, de communiquer avec le reste d'Internet en utilisant vers l'extérieur des adresses externes publiques, uniques et routables.
Address spaceIn computing, an address space defines a range of discrete addresses, each of which may correspond to a network host, peripheral device, disk sector, a memory cell or other logical or physical entity. For software programs to save and retrieve stored data, each datum must have an address where it can be located. The number of address spaces available depends on the underlying address structure, which is usually limited by the computer architecture being used.
Adresse physiqueIn computing, a physical address (also real address, or binary address), is a memory address that is represented in the form of a binary number on the address bus circuitry in order to enable the data bus to access a particular storage cell of main memory, or a register of memory-mapped I/O device. In a computer supporting virtual memory, the term physical address is used mostly to differentiate from a virtual address.
