NAT hairpin in P2P mode configuration example

Network requirements
In the P2P application, internal clients must register their IP address to the external server and the
server records the registered IP addresses and port numbers of the internal clients. An internal client
must request the IP address and port number of another client from the external server before
accessing the client.
Configure NAT hairpin so that:
•
The internal clients can register the same public address to the external server.
•
The internal clients can access each other through the IP address and port number obtained
from the server.
