NAT Traversal

NAT traversal refers to techniques used to establish communication between devices on different networks that are separated by a Network Address Translation (NAT) device. NAT is commonly used in routers to allow multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address. However, this can create challenges for direct communication, especially in applications like online gaming or video calls. NAT traversal methods, such as STUN and TURN, help bypass these barriers, allowing devices to discover their public addresses and establish direct connections effectively, ensuring seamless communication across networks.
