A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Application Design Guidelines for Traversal through Network Address Translators
Author(s) : B. Ford, et al.
Filename : draft-ford-behave-app-02.txt
Pages : 23
Date : 2006-3-9
This document defines guidelines by which application designers
can create applications that communicate reliably and efficiently
in the presence of Network Address Translators (NATs),
particularly when the application has a need for "peer-to-peer"
(P2P) style communication. The guidelines allow a P2P application
to work reliably over a majority of existing NATs, as well as all
future NATs that conform to the behave requirements specified in
companion documents. The NAT traversal techniques described in
the document do not require the use of special proxy or relay
protocols, do not require specific knowledge about the network
topology or the number and type of NATs in the path, and do not
require any modifications to IP or transport-layer protocols
on the end hosts.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ford-behave-app-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
