Talk:STUN
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
STUN can also stand for Serial TUNnel. It's a form of IP tunnelling (like GRE or L2TP), not to be confused with Simple Traversal of UDP over NAT). It appears to be a Cisco-specific protocol.

It would be nice to provide example of STUN-friendly implementations or, even better, list what kind of NAT each implementation is. (eg. is linux >= 2.4 a simmetric NAT?)
- not had time to fully experiment but i get the feeling linux 2.4.x is somewhere between a restricted port code and a symetric. Afaict it will look like a restricted port cone normally but will start behaving in ways more like a symetric under certain conditions such as two apps behind the NAT using the same local port. Never got round to testing this though its just suspicion based on other things i've noticed about linux as a nat. Plugwash 20:04, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Been trying to comprehend how gtalk does p2p, and now it finally is beginning to make sense. Wikipedia rawks.--Waxmop 20:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
