It could be one-to-one, or one-to-many. Simple broadband NAT routers like Linksys is an example of one-to-many NAT...

NAT - Network Address Translation is a one to one mapping of private address to public address, therefore your NAT pool usually depends on the total number of real-world addresses you have got from your ISP minus any that are used for static servers i.e. web-server, smtp server, etc, etc. So for example your private 192.168.0.0 address space maps to a set number of real-world IP addresses. PAT - Port Address Translation is a many to one mapping of private addresses to a single real world address but different ports, I believe 65,000 but I could be very wrong. However, I don't believe PAT always works when trying to access just more than simple web sites.

If you have more clients than the pool contains the last clients won't be able to access the net.
