NAT traversal (Network Address Translation Traversal) is a technique used to establish Internet connections between computers that are behind a NAT router or firewall. It can be used to establish a direct communication channel between two computers without the need for a public–facing IP address for either computer. NAT traversal techniques are used to allow applications using VoIP, file sharing applications, and other types of peer–to–peer applications to function correctly when connecting to hosts on the Internet.
