PAT (Port Address Translation) works very differently from Static and Dynamic NAT. This structure adds port numbers to the source portion of private IP addresses and matches them to global IP addresses. The most common type used in NAT is PAT.

Dynamic NAT works with the same logic compared to Static and PAT. In both structures, they convert private IP addresses on the local network to global IP addresses.
What is Static NAT in Networking?

Static NAT is a one-to-one assignment between the internal address and the external address. This NAT type allows external devices to initiate connections to internal devices through a statically assigned public address. For example, only a specific internal global address can be assigned so that the user can access an internal web server from an external network.
