Note that this is not always the case with NAT any longer. Some NAT
routers are coming with a UPNP (universal plug 'n play) service that
allows applications to indicate that a port should be forwarded to
them automatically.

I've never been impressed with anything that has billed itself plug-and-play.
It's a security nightmare on routers.
On physical hardware, it isn't too bad. The fact that the hardware is
physically attached to your machine limits the security implications.
