Koi usually live around 20 or 30 years. The oldest Koi on record was named Hanako. It purportedly lived to be about 226 years old. It lived in a pond that was in a stable area (read low geologic activity) and was passed down from generation to generation. Hanako died around 1977.
Â­ This is where NAT (RFC 1631) comes to the rescue. Network Address Translation allows a single device, such as a router, to act as an agent between the Internet (or public network) and a local (or private) network. This means that only a single, unique IP address is required to represent an entire group of computers.
What Is Network Address Translation? NAT was originally developed as an interim solution to combat IPv4 address depletion by allowing globally registered IP addresses to be re-used or shared by several hosts. The classic NAT defined by RFC 1631 [3] maps IP addresses from one realm to another. Although it can be used to translate between any two address realms, NAT is most often used to map IPs from the nonroutable private address spaces defined by RFC 1918 [4] , shown below.
