ICMP-based relaying #517

Closed Winterhuman closed 1 year ago

Winterhuman commented 1 year ago

I tried searching for "ICMP" to see if ICMP-based relaying was mentioned somewhere, which used to enable NAT traversal without a third-party, but I couldn't find any matches. Has there been any consideration for this type of NAT traversal? (EDIT: Yes, https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-autonat/issues/100)

As an example implementation, with an explanation in the readme: https://github.com/samyk/pwnat

Nevermind, found https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-autonat/issues/100. However, the developer of pwnat, Sanyk, mentioned "You may also be interested in other P2P technologies like https://samy.pl/pwnat/ which I hope to be releasing a modernized version of soon around a new technique": https://github.com/samyk/slipstream/issues/13#issuecomment-775481117

Perhaps it may be worth contacting them?
