#open-nat

Open NAT is a NAT Traversal and P2P Gaming term for a gaming and console label for NAT behavior that usually allows inbound peer connections more easily than strict or moderate NAT types. 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.

“Open NAT held the door like a polite network chaperone.”
