Just a little tweak here and there. Any chance of that?
I'm actually not so sure about that. p2p is a very different thing than a controlled measurement of client connectivity to a known good web server - even if that web server is on a Teredo address. In this p2p case both ends may well be behind a stack of NATs each with their own unique set of limitations and peculiarities. The whole environment is anything but controlled. So the question isn't whether or not Teredo is reliable per se, it's more interesting to ask if it is more or less reliable than the current STUN stuff in the Xbox 360 - and whether or not *that* is reliable to begin with. https://www.google.no/search?q=xbox+360+nat+type+moderate+strict seems to answer that with "not at all"... I doubt Teredo is a whole lot better, but I suspect it's as good as it gets on the IPv4 internet today. Tore
