Title: Re: One Question

This is what is written in RFC for NAT(1631). Which is confusing me.

   For instance, in the example of figure 2, both stubs A and B
   internally use class A address 10.0.0.0. Stub A's NAT is assigned the
   class C address 198.76.29.0, and Stub B's NAT is assigned the class C
   address 198.76.28.0. The class C addresses are globally unique no
   other NAT boxes can use them.

                                |--|             |--|
                               /____\           /____\
                             10.33.96.5       10.81.13.22

                     Figure 2: Basic NAT Operation

   When stub A host 10.33.96.5 wishes to send a packet to stub B host
   10.81.13.22, it uses the globally unique address 198.76.28.4 as
   destination, and sends the packet to it's primary router. The stub
   router has a static route for net 198.76.0.0 so the packet is
   forwarded to the WAN-link. However, NAT translates the source address
   10.33.96.5 of the IP header with the globally unique 198.76.29.7

Now I am bit more confused. Suppose I am sitting in A network and I want to communicate with the host in B network. Now if my
IP address is 10.33.96.5, and the other's address is 10.81.13.22. Now what would be my destination address in my packet. 10.81.13.22 or
198.76.28.4. Now if i use class C address then How will that router know that for which of its host this packet belongs. There could be
N host in that LAN. I dont know the solution to this problem
