PAT
Port Address Translation
A more common use of NAT is one-to-many. Almost every ISP in the world provides a NAT/Router, generically referred to as Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). In this system, many hosts on a private network can connect to the internet via a single IP address.

This type of translation is (incorrectly?) called NAT, one-to-many-NAT and IP masquerading.
