Explanation

Port Address Translation (PAT), also called NAT overload or port forwarding, maps a specific port on a single public IP address to an internal private IP address and port. With only one public IP, the firewall uses PAT to forward incoming traffic on port 80/443 to the internal web server. A forwarding proxy is used for outbound client traffic. DMZ port security and application inspection are security features, not address/port mapping services.
