Thanks for your interest in the P2PSP project.

I'm sure that Vicente can provide more details of this project than me but
I think that the ideal solution would be to work with any type of NAT.
However it is not an easy task. Symmetric NATs are a big barrier. Thus, an
implementation of the internet gateway device protocol could be useful (and
enough) in order to work with most of NATs. I don't see it as a set of
rules.

What do you think?
