[ENet-discuss] NAT punchthrough sample source code (yet again)?

[Stefan Lundmark]

Why do you doubt its working? Have you tried it before commenting? 
That's exactly how NAT-punchtrough works.

NAT-punch isn't reliable if you're doing pure UDP. LibJingle makes sure 
it's stable, too.
ENet resends lost packets and simulates connections ontop of UDP. 
That'll work too.

Sounds like you want someone else to do the work for you.

>>> There is no official sample, per se, but it perhaps bears repeating that a NAT punchthrough implementation is as simple as:
>>> Set up a third-party ENet host C. Hosts A and B connect to C. C gives A the address of B. A directly connects to B. A and B disconnect from C.
