This memo documents the methods used by the current peer-to-peer
   (P2P) applications to communicate in the presence of network 
   address translators (NAT). In addition, the memo suggests 
   guidelines to application designers and NAT implementers on the
   measures they could take to enable immediate, wide deployment of
   P2P applications with or without requiring the use of special
   proxy, relay or midcom protocols.

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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
