The a PeaceKeeper (PK) by definition has a connection to both the IPv8 transport and the IPv16 transport. Applications know why they are using either transport, and can of course use both or start with one and fall back to the other, etc. The users are behind the GK (NAT) appliances and of course have no access to the IPv16 transport, unless it is via a PK.
