If a host is located behind a NAT, it can be impossible for that host
to communicate directly with other hosts (peers) in certain
situations. In these situations, it is necessary for the host to use
the services of an intermediate node that acts as a communication
relay. This specification defines a protocol, called "Traversal Using
Relays around NAT" (TURN), that allows the host to control the
operation of the relay and to exchange packets with its peers using
the relay. TURN differs from other relay control protocols in that it
allows a client to communicate with multiple peers using a single
relay address.
The TURN protocol was designed to be used as part of the Interactive
Connectivity Establishment (ICE) approach to NAT traversal, though it
can also be used without ICE.
This document obsoletes RFCs 5766 and 6156.
This document is a product of the TURN Revised and Modernized Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
