I came across pwnat's home page a while ago. From what I saw one drawback of pwnat is the client has to know the server's public address. So to support dynamic networks (which is almost a requirement for real-world p2p networking), it still needs a server to bootstrap connection and to notify server address changes. Do correct me if I'm wrong.
