Carrier-grade NAT. Carrier-grade NAT (CGN or CGNAT), also known as large-scale NAT (LSN), is a type of network address translation (NAT) used by ISPs in IPv4 network design. With CGNAT, end sites, in particular residential networks, are configured with private network addresses that are translated to public IPv4 addresses by middlebox network address translator devices embedded in the network ...

For publicly accessible services such as web and mail servers the port number is important. For example, port 443 connects through a socket to the web server software and port 465 to a mail server's SMTP daemon. [7] The IP address of a public server is also important, similar in global uniqueness to a postal address or telephone number.
If an ISP deploys a CGN and uses private Internet address space [2] (networks 10.0.0.0 / 8, 172.16.0.0 / 12, 192.168.0.0 / 16) to connect their customers, there is a risk that customer equipment using an internal network in the same range will stop working.

NAT64 is an IPv6 transition mechanism that facilitates communication between IPv6 and IPv4 hosts by using a form of network address translation (NAT). The NAT64 gateway is a translator between IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, [1] for which function it needs at least one IPv4 address and an IPv6 network segment comprising a 32-bit address space.
