The advantages of using NAT (Network Address Translation) from the options provided are:
1. **NAT remedies address overlap occurrence.** - NAT can help alleviate the problem of address overlap by allowing multiple devices on a private network to use the same private IP address space, thus avoiding conflicts when connecting to the internet.
2. **NAT conserves legally registered addresses.** - NAT allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address, which helps conserve the limited pool of publicly registered IP addresses.
3. **NAT increases flexibility when connecting to the internet.** - NAT provides flexibility by allowing devices on a private network to connect to the internet without needing a unique public IP address for each device.
The option that states "Certain applications will not function with NAT enabled" is not an advantage of NAT; rather, it is a disadvantage, as some applications (especially those requiring end-to-end connectivity) may struggle in NAT environments.
Therefore, the three correct advantages of using NAT are:
- NAT remedies address overlap occurrence.
- NAT conserves legally registered addresses.
- NAT increases flexibility when connecting to the internet.
