I think the ratio is more like 1000:1, honestly. I have never seen a piece of consumer hardware that is broken in that way. Is there a particular model you are worried about? Note that most internet games would also fail across such a device, so it would be unlikely to be successful in the marketplace. The whole idea of port forwarding is to enable exactly this kind of code. Simplicity is important. Junk the connected socket and just use recvfrom/sendto, you will be much happier.
