Analyze the following network traffic logs depicting communications between Computer1 and Computer2 on opposite sides of a router. The information was captured by the computer with the IPv4 address 10.254.254.10.

7:58:36 SRC 10.254.254.1:3030, DST 10.254.254.10:80, SYN

7:58:40 SRC 10.254.254.1:3030, DST 10.254.254.10:80, ACK

Given the information, what can you infer about the network communications?

What can be concluded from the above log is that; the router implements the Network Address Translation (NAT).

Explanation:

Network address translation (NAT) is a refers to the of remapping one IP address by enabling a private IP networks that use unregistered IP addresses to connect to the Internet.

This can be seen as allowing the router to repackage some packets so that the devices can have just one IP address.

As seen above, when the routes implements the NAT, the three networks were connected.

Which gives each network a private address so that packets can be sent to another network through their IP addresses
