what is NAT Type?

When you're online at the menu where the top option is "find Game" it says "Your NAT Type: Open" under the menu, I wanted to know if anyone could tell me: what is NAT Type? How do I change it to closed? Can it be changed to closed? And what will happen if I DO change it to close?

NAT is something to do with how good your connection is.
Basically, you want it to be open, and I don't think it can be closed.
It can be strict though.
That's what mine is :/

NAT is something that hides outgoing IPs to make them look like they're coming from the router. If it's closed, it means you might be playing behind a firewall, which is bad because of lag. It can also interfere with headsets. You want it to be open.

It's good as it is, if it's Closed/Limited/Moderate you will not be able to play online or you will play with horrible connection,
