Cool. I wonder how practical of a requirement it is for a relay node to not be NAT'd though. Who is not behind a NAT? Maybe the rules should be relaxed to allow those behind a STUN-compatible NAT to act as a relay node too. That would really open the doors to who may be a relay node. Note: I have not yet considered the added complexity in that case. I am just thinking out loud. I'm curious what Skype does these days. -Justin
