Straightforward question really, but I've been reading about all of this NAT trickery lately, and I'm wondering why UPnP isn't considered a standard solution. I figure there must be a good reason for the efforts put forward to circumvent NAT outside of UPnP. Is there any hard data which suggests it is not reliable in some way?
Most of my Googlin' results in claims of it being a "security threat." Coincidentally, the recent flash exploit certainly strengthens that argument. But any kind of program with the ability to punch holes in your NAT is a potential security threat, isn't it? Or am I misunderstanding how the two differ?
