Unlike in a symmetric NAT, in any cone-type NAT, an internal UDP application can negotiate to receive packets from a known peer, by using ST= UN to create a external IP:port for its UDP socket and discover what they are, communicating them to its peer and learning what external IP:port its peer = is using, and even if it's behind the most restrictive "ported-restricted cone" NAT, it can just send 1 packet to its peer's IP:port to create a connection= and allow that peer to send packets back. This works even if both peers are NATed, as long as at least 1 (the server)= is not a symmetric NAT. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
