This software implements STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) through Network Address Translation, allowing devices behind NAT and firewalls to communicate with each other for peer-to-peer connections.
JSTUN is a software project written in Java that is focused on implementing STUN (Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Through Network Address Translation (NAT)). This protocol offers applications the tools to detect the existence and type of network address translation or firewalls between them and the public internet. Additionally, STUN can be utilized to determine the public Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to a NAT, which is especially useful when faced with this type of network configuration.
The JSTUN project encompasses most of the message headers and attributes outlined in RFC 3489, which are fundamental components of STUN. Furthermore, the current version of JSTUN includes a STUN-Client that can be utilized by applications to identify firewalls and NATs.
Lastly, it is important to note that the JSTUN project operates under the GNU General Public License, which makes the software completely open source and free to use.
