As far as I understand, STUN in general, and STUN in particular, can be used 
for any UDP-based always-on protocol. ESP-in-UDP, TEREDO, perhaps some long 
usages of RTP (such as MIDI-over-RTP(?) or RTSP-based streaming), proprietary 
UDP overlays (not giving any names)...

And then, there is the relation to ICE in finding "intermediary" NAT mappings 
in nested NATs scenarios.

At the same time, I thought SIP Outbound was going to recommend TCP, so that 
it could end up being a less likely "customer" of STUN control??
