Section 7.2 has been extended and rewritten with a more precise description of what the GIST nodes MUST/SHOULD do, accompanied by an informative description of what NATs could do.

Updated section reference for -07. See also issue 22.

A document which could serve as a basis for discussing the solution for this issue is available at http://www.tschofenig.com/drafts/draft-pashalidis-nsis-gimps-nattraversal-00.html

In particular, it would be good to know that the solution worked in the presence of nested-NATs.

Most of the details of NAT traversal (for GIMPS-aware NATs) are a local implementation matter. However, it might be useful to document how NAT traversal is actually possible, in order to validate that the protocol itself is not NAT-unfriendly, and also to provide some background rationale for some of the details of the fundamental specification. The processing details could go in an informative annex to the main GIMPS specification.
