addressed outside the subnet are
sent to.
Node 192.168.1.5 needs to send a packet to 207.68.172.246 (msn.com)
Node 192.168.1.5 identifies that 207.68.172.246 is outside the subnet
(255.255.255.0 )
The packet is sent to 192.168.1.0, the default gateway
NAT translates the source field to 10.1.2.3
The internet sees a packet from 10.1.2.3 to 207.68.172.246
