Well.... my house was behind 2 levels of NAT until last week.
Once i got rid of one level (the one I don't control), some of my 
operational problems with keeping SSH sessions up simply went away.
And SSH is a client-server protocol.

Don't underestimate the capability of badly implemented and/or configured 
NATs to make things go boom in the night.
