Translated connection to the Internet

This scenario describes a small office or home office (SOHO) network that connects to the Internet by using a translated connection.

The network configuration is simplified through the use of the network address translation (NAT) routing protocol, which provides network address translation, addressing, and name resolution services for SOHO network computers.

A SOHO network has the following characteristics:

  • One network segment.

  • A single protocol: TCP/IP.

  • Demand-dial or dedicated-link connections to the Internet service provider (ISP).

The following illustration shows an example of a SOHO network.

SOHO network

The server running Routing and Remote Access is configured with a network adapter for the media that is used in the home network (for example, Ethernet) and an ISDN adapter or an analog modem. You can use a leased line or other permanent connection technologies, such as xDSL and cable modems, but this scenario describes the more typical configuration that uses a dial-up link to a local ISP.
