STUN Protocol Library 0.96

STUN Protocol Library provides the Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs Library.
STUN Protocol Library, Client and Server implements a simple STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs) server and client, using the included library.
The STUN protocol is described in the IETF RFC 3489, available from the IETF.
STUN is a lightweight protocol that allows applications to discover the presence and types of Network Address Translators (NATs) and firewalls between them and the public Internet.
It also provides the ability for applications to determine the public IP addresses allocated to them by the NAT.
STUN works with nearly all existing NATs, and does not require any special behavior from them.
As a result, it allows a wide variety of applications to work through existing NAT infrastructure.
The STUN protocol is very simple, being almost identical to echo.
