This document describes several Network Address Translator (NAT)
traversal techniques that were considered to be used for establishing
the RTP media flows controlled by the Real-Time Streaming Protocol
(RTSP).  Each technique includes a description of how it would be
used, the security implications of using it, and any other deployment
considerations it has.  There are also discussions on how NAT
traversal techniques relate to firewalls and how each technique can
be applied in different use cases.  These findings were used when
selecting the NAT traversal for RTSP 2.0, which is specified in a
separate document.
