HI Francois



Probably Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)is what you are looking for.

How reliable is that ?




Btw: Skype is using an intermediate server to locate users.

Looks normal to exchange connection data

What do you mean ? 
Are you asking if it works ? The answer is yes.
Are you asking it is always available ? The answer is no. It is disabled on
firewalls or routers where security is really controlled. Most home user
have it turn on because they don't even know what it is.
