Zusammenfassung:	Methods and apparatus for facilitating traversal of a network address translator (NAT) are disclosed. For example, a node configured to communicate with one or more other nodes over a network may facilitate NAT traversal by a) determining information regarding the behavior of one or more NATs that are likely to be encountered with the node; and storing the information in such a way that the information is retrievable by one or more other nodes; or b) retrieving information regarding behavior of one or more NATs that are likely to be encountered obtained by one or more other nodes and using the information to traverse one or more of the NATs.
