Description

See NAT traversal for a high level description of how this works.

Usage

With p2p_broker running on my_p2p_broker.com register as my_username:

$ cargo run my_p2p_broker.com my_username

Example output

The following example uses the following IPs:

• broker: 216.58.194.206
• this_client: 172.217.0.46
• other_client: 98.138.219.232

This assumes other_client already registered. The flow is the same, he just types listen<RET>. this_client registers and connects to other_client:

Client running on 0.0.0.0:63326
Registering as this_client with 216.58.194.206:63325...
My public IP: 172.217.0.46

Listing users currently connected to 216.58.194.206:63325...
other_client               98.138.219.232:63326

Type "listen<RET>" to listen for incoming connections, type "<username><RET>" to connect to it.
