→Network Address Translation (NAT)
NAT make easy to use a virtual machine because:
* it does not require to configure guest network parameters (the guest router act as DHCP server and give all the needed information to the guest)* it garantee guarantees that the VM can be executed in any network environment without breaking the existing network.
However it's really hard to configure NAT to let the VM to act as a server (e.g. as NFS or TFTP server), for this reason the developer usually choose a bridged configuration, with proper IP parameter assignments.
