port. If the same host sends a packet with the same source address and port, but to a different destination, a different mapping is used. Furthermore, only the external host that receives a packet can send a UDP packet back to the internal host.
So, if we know the port allocation rule of the Symmetric NAT, we can traverse Symmetric NAT. This paper proposes a new method for traversing Symmetric NAT which is based on port prediction and limited TTL values.

It's just a experience project, I just wanna test whether UDP punching is possible if both nodes are behind symmetric NAT. To run it, you should run `punch_server.go` in a machine with public IP, so both nodes can connect to it to exchange info(just node info, not to relay like [RFC 6062](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6062)), then run `nat_traversal [-s punch server] [-d id]` on both nodes, you can also specify other arguments, such as, STUN server by `-H` option, source IP by `-i`, source port by `-p`.
