In a university campus network, students are unable to access the internet from their dorm rooms. The network team discovers that the NAT device is overwhelmed with too many translation entries. What can be a potential solution to handle the large number of simultaneous connections?

To handle the large number of simultaneous connections when a NAT device is overwhelmed, one potential solution is to add more NAT devices. This approach, known as NAT load balancing, involves distributing the network traffic across multiple NAT devices to share the translation load. It helps alleviate the resource constraints of a single NAT device. Upgrading the internet connection or implementing a load balancer can improve performance but may not directly address the NAT overload issue. Configuring port forwarding is useful for directing specific incoming traffic but does not resolve NAT overload.
