Network Address Translation (NAT) allow systems with BU private IP addresses (such as IPs in the 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 range, sometimes referred to as 10-net) to access Internet resources for necessary business functions. Systems typically assigned BU private IP addresses may include specialized workstations, some servers, scientific instruments, or other Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This NAT service is only for BU private IP addresses requiring access to external IP addresses.

By implementing NAT, you can enjoy the benefits of BU private IP addresses for systems while still being able to access necessary Internet resources.
