Dear all,
As specified at sec. 3.2.1 client routing in RELOAD Base,
"Establish a connection to the peer responsible for the client's Node-ID in
the overlay. Then requests may be sent from/to the client using its Node-ID
in the same manner as if it were a peer, because the responsible peer in the
overlay will handle the final step of routing to the client. This will not
work in overlays where NATs or firewalls prevent clients from forming
connections with other peers."
I would like to ask why such limitation exists, I mean "This will not work
in overlays where NATs or firewalls prevent clients from forming connections
with other peers". Doesn't a client establish a connection to the peer
responsible for the client's Node-ID via the same manner of Attach request
as if it were a peer? So in case the client behind NATs or firewalls fails
to form connection with the responsible peer, but even a peer it will
probably occur such situation when it wants to establish connection with
some peers, doesn't it? Couldn't a client form connection with the
responsible peer the same as a peer does?
Any response is welcome. Thanks in advance.
BR,
Jeffrey
