Libraries for NAT traversal and hole punching

=============================================

Notes

=====

- NAT relaying (using accessible server S to forward packets between A and B) - TURN protocol

- Connection reversal (via server S, but while only one of A, B is behind NAT)

- UDP Hole punching (via server S)

- hairpin (loopback) translation?
