How does NAT overload behave when thousands of internal clients share a single public IP?

Example Concept: NAT overload assigns a unique public port number for each internal connection, allowing thousands of internal clients to communicate with external networks using a single public IP. The router maintains a translation table mapping internal IP addresses and ports to the public IP address and unique ports. This method efficiently manages connections but requires careful monitoring to avoid port exhaustion, which can occur if the number of simultaneous connections exceeds the available port range.
