A Comparative Analysis of Nat Hole Punching
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple scenario is when only one % &% % A, having a global address and wishing to set up a connection to B, will contact the mediator M with its own address and port combination. M will forward this connection request message along its persistent control connection to B, who will then set up a direct connection to A. This process is known as . and is possi% & in setting up a connection from inside to A’s public address. This technique also works when B is behind multiple layers of

UDP NAT and Firewall Puncturing in the Wild
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks work on the presumption that all nodes in the network are connectable. However, NAT boxes and firewalls prevent connections to many nodes on the Internet. For UDP based protocols, the UDP hole-punching technique has been proposed to mitigate this problem. This paper presents a study of the efficacy of UDP hole punching on the Internet in the context of an actual P2P ...
متن کاملPeer-to-Peer Communication Across Network Address Translators
Network Address Translation (NAT) causes well-known dif culties for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, since the peers involved may not be reachable at any globally valid IP address. Several NAT traversal techniques are known, but their documentation is slim, and data about their robustness or relative merits is slimmer. This paper documents and analyzes one of the simplest but most robust and p...
متن کاملA New Method for Symmetric NAT Traversal in UDP and TCP
This paper proposes a new method for Network Address Translator (NAT) Traversal in UDP. Several techniques have been proposed for traversing NAT or firewall boxes in UDP. These techniques can establish UDP communication between hosts behind NATs. However, existing NAT traversal methods, including Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), Simple traversal of UDP over NATs (STUN) and Teredo, cannot travers...
متن کاملSecure Networking with NAT Traversal for Enhanced Mobility
When a peer in a public network opens a connection to another one being behind a network address translator, it encounters the network address translation problem. So called “UDP hole punching” approach allows to open a public-to-private or private-to-private network connection. This article deals with this approach to propose new security architecture for IPv4 communication introducing so call...
متن کاملSTUNT Enhanced Java RMI
Java RMI uses HTTP tunneling for NAT traversal. While HTTP tunneling is a valid technique for traditional client–server–architectures, it is too heavy-weight for highly distributed systems such as peer-to-peer applications. In this paper, we propose a STUNT enhanced RMI mechanism that takes advantage of the hole punching NAT traversal technique that many successful peer-to-peer applications use...
