#50 new enhancement

Description (last modified by zooko)

Want to know what your IP address is, so that you can tell other people to open connections to that address in order to talk to you? Well, ask a peer that you have connected to! (That peer could be, but doesn't have to be, the introducer.)

ICE standard:

​http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6544

(Not that we need to use the standard for this, but it might contain some nuggets of wisdom about how to do this effectively.)

#169 STUNT-like operation is planned in the module mentioned there. But, it's not actually STUNT or ICE. ICE is probably a bit more robust, but such a pain...

If you like this ticket, you may also like #49 (UPnP), #169 (tcp hole-punching!), #445 (implement relay: allow storage servers behind NAT), and #754 (merge manually specified tub location with autodetected tub location).
