Title:	Analysis of NAT Approaches and Explicit Signaling for NAT Traversal
Type:	Bachelor's thesis
Student:	Henning Peters
Supervisor:	Xiaoming Fu
Status:	completed

Description
The lack of standards for NAT behavior caused confusion and incompatibility. Whereas implicit approaches to address NAT traversal work compatibly with a broad range of already-installed appliances, the explicit approach needs protocol support on all NATs along a path. This thesis analyzes these state-of-the-art approaches and compares them against each other. Furthermore, the thesis studies an IETF NSIS-based NAT/firewall traversal framework, prototyping and implementing the critical support for NAT traversal.

Requirements
Good knowledge of TCP/IP principles and protocols; good analytical skills and C/C++ network programming skills
