Method for host selection based on discovered NAT type

摘要

A host may be selected for a peer-to-peer grid based on discovered NAT type. NAT profile information may be collected by each of the peers and shared with the other peers. Each peer receives NAT profile information for the other peers. Each peer may determine from the NAT profile information for the peer and the NAT profile information for the other peers which of the two or more peers to designate as the host.
