I would like to suggest that
       http://www.jdrosen.net/papers/draft-iab-nat-traversal- 
considerations-00.txt
is a good starting point for this milestone. This document was  
originally
an IAB-sponsored I-D, but was allowed to expire.

I believe this document needs work.
However, I like the classification scheme used in the document and  
believe that
a balanced discussion of the pros and cons of each technique using this
classification scheme would be very helpful.

I personally see a frequent need for this document. We are seeing  
more and more
protocols that want to add NAT Traversal, and people always ask: how  
should I
do this?

In fact, this topic came up once again just yesterday when someone  
asked me what
the transition scheme would be from an ICE-based scheme to a MIDCOM- 
based
scheme for NAT traversal.
