Hi Jeff, Sorry, can't use IPv6 right now but may be in the future.
When you're talking to someone behind NAT (or any type of firewall), how do you know to whom you're actually talking? If Machine A can talk to machine C in front of NAT and that machine can relay the data packet to the machine B behind the NAT. From Machine A perspective won't it be just like talking to machine B. May be use IPTABLES to specify the route on the port range. There are ways, of course, but it's quite complicated if connection initiation can effectively only flow in one direction. Jeff, can you tell me the most simple way. It does not have to be perfect.

Tennessee and INRIA folks have dug into at least some of them. When you're talking to someone behind NAT (or any type of firewall), how do you know to whom you're actually talking?
