Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for facilitating traversal of a network address translator (NAT) are disclosed. For example, a node configured to communicate with one or more other nodes over a network may facilitate NAT traversal by a) determining information regarding the behavior of one or more NATs with the node; and storing the information in such a way that the information is retrievable by one or more other nodes; or b) retrieving information regarding behavior of one or more NATs obtained by one or more other nodes and using the information to traverse one or more of the NATs.
