This message was actually posted by me :-)

I looked, albeit briefly, at STUN and SIP.  these protocols are not at all like what I am suggesting.

RNET will punch through firewalls/NATs without a problem.   Peer to Peer communication using RNET Host Addresses, however, may present a problem when there are NATs between them.  (The answer to this is simply to allow authenticated RNET Route Requests to be made at every NAT/firewall)

I think you missed the point of RNET.  The point being that you have a valid IPv6 IP address and are able to plug into any part of the internet and use it from that location.   Your address is NOT advertised.  The routes made for communication by your RNET Host decay so as not to polute the internet's routing tables.

RNET is quite simple, easy to impliment.

RNET Route Requests and RNET Error Messages can be put together under a new IP protocol, named RNET.  All that needs to be done is to have a new protocol number assigned for this purpose.

Thank-you for your response.
I appreciate it greatly.
