[hydra-dev] Networking stack (NAT, Firewall, IPv6)

[Nick Lewis]

>I agree that it's not widely implemented yet, but tests do show that it
solves the problem that it was created to solve.
Some of the problems solved by STUN TURN and ICE seem a bit contrived
(or do not actually work e.g. RFC3489). RFC5626 represents a return to
reality with workable solutions for nat traversal and redundancy so this
seems a good place to start 

>If it's needed for Hydra or not is another issue. I might be alone, but
I still don't have a clear picture of the hole we're trying to fill with
Hydra, what the product is.
I think we are all (both digium and the community) suffering from v2
syndrome and I do not think that the heads down on zeroc stuff is
necessarily helping the product definition activity. It would be
fantastic if digium could dedicate more resources to product definition
and produce a detailed stalking horse that the community can then
discuss
