We've written a piece of software that will test your NAT implementation to determine how well various NAT hole punching techniques work. The tester (at least the version with the tests we're interested in right now) currently only runs on W32 and requires that you first install http://www.winpcap.org/. Then, please download, unzip and run the NAT tester from http://nattest.net.in.tum.de/. At the end, the tester will launch a browser to report the results back to the nat tester website for evaluation. The collected data is made public, and our evaluation report will also be public; finally, whatever method we end up implementing for GNUnet based on this will be reasonably modular so that Tor can choose to build on our code (if the evaluation makes it look promising enough). Thanks for your help in advance!
