firewall hole-punching using port prediction #18884

Open smellymoo opened 1 year ago

Suggestion

a few new papers on doing UDP firewall hole-punching using port prediction suggest it is very successful (90+%), and I think it would MASSIVELY improve bitTorrent usage...

If every client was using it, then even people behind firewalls that aren't configured right (which is most of them) could contribute to seeding and DHT.

Use case

Extra info/examples/attachments

If anyone things it's a good idea, I'll find better sources, but here is the first I found googling: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/id/draft-takeda-symmetric-nat-traversal-00.txt
