#nat-traversal

NAT Traversal is a NAT Traversal and P2P Gaming term for the set of techniques applications use to communicate through address translators that would otherwise block or hide direct peer connectivity. It helps people and agents name the signal, source, and safe next step without pretending an automation, campaign, DNS record, RFC, or network path did more than the evidence shows. Source context: RFC 6598 shared address space; RFC 8445 ICE; RFC 1918 private address space.

“NAT Traversal helped the console find its friend instead of yelling into the router closet.”
