hi,
in all of the example I saw, the PAT was illustrated as when the host want to communicate with public IP address like:
the issue is when a host want to communicate with the internet, then it generates random source ports. so it is possible that two hosts use something like 192.168.1.2:20001 and 192.168.3.2:20001 according to the example up!
if this happens, then how PAT will work, how it can forward the traffic to the right host when it receives flow from the internet ??
thanks,

thanks a lot Luke,
very nice explained.
sometimes the books or blogs use an example which let you ask questions more than finding answers :)
