Added the following text at the end of 7.2 (which is now the introduction to the
entire NAT traversal discussion):
In all cases, GIST interaction with the NAT is determined by the way
the NAT handles the Query/Response messages in the initial GIST
handshake; these messages are UDP datagrams. Best current practice
for NAT treatment of UDP traffic is defined in [28], and the legacy
NAT handling defined in this specification is fully consistent with
that document. The GIST-aware NAT traversal technique is equivalent
to requiring an Application Layer Gateway in the NAT for a specific
class of UDP transactions, namely those where the destination UDP
port for the initial message is the GIST port (see Section 9). |
