#peer-to-peer-lobby

Peer To Peer Lobby is a NAT Traversal and P2P Gaming term for a multiplayer game session design where players connect directly or semi-directly to each other instead of only through a central server. 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.

“The Peer To Peer Lobby worked great until CGNAT arrived with a giant privacy curtain.”
