| Summary: |
Simple Traversal of UDP Through NATs (STUN) is a lightweight protocol
that allows applications to discover the presence and types of Network
Address Translators (NATs) and firewalls between them and the public
Internet. It also provides the ability for applications to determine
the public IP addresses allocated to them by the nat. STUN
works with nearly all existing NATs, and does not require any special
behavior from them. As a result, it allows a wide variety of
applications to work through existing NAT infrastructure. The STUN
protocol is very simple, being almost identical to echo.
