Title: Simple Traversal of UDP Through Network Address Translators (NAT) (STUN)
State: Active

Simple Traversal of UDP Through NATs (STUN) is a lightweight protocol that
provides the ability for applications to determine the public IP addresses
allocated to them by the NAT. These addresses can be placed into protocol
payloads where a client needs to provide a publically routable IP address.
STUN works with many 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.
