This is where NAT comes in. Instead of sending the package directly to the host, it goes through the router who then changes the sender's IP address into its own Public IP Address:port, in this case '''101.89.101.12:8801'''.So now when the host receives the package it knows exactly where to send the response. It then generates a response package and sends it to 101.89.101.12:8801. The router then receives that response on the specific port and knows exactly where to re-route it - to '''192.168.1.3:1025'''
