Subject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] A bitcoin UDP P2P protocol extension
Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2013 17:57:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BLU0-SMTP30A4EFEB3349A94802E930C8D60@phx.gbl> (raw)

My first concern was that I and about everyone else only has TCP/UDP 
port forwarding, but at least for the first:

UDT uses UDP to transfer bulk data with its own reliability control and 
congestion control mechanisms. Multiple UDT flows can share a single UDP 
port, thus a firewall can open only one UDP port for all UDT connections.

The latter appears not so friendly to NAT.
