This is useful as it serves to establish entries in NAT routing tables on all devices between this bound instance and the public facing internet, allowing a prospective client's connection packets to be routed backward through the NAT device(s) between the public internet and this host. This requires forward knowledge of a prospective client's address and communication port as seen by the public internet - after any NAT devices have handled their connection request. This information can be obtained by a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN]STUN[/url] service, and must be handed off to your host by an entity that is not the prospective client. This will never work for a client behind a Symmetric NAT due to the nature of the Symmetric NAT routing algorithm, as their IP and Port cannot be known beforehand. </description> |
