NAT traversal is a pain point for every real-world p2p system, so we should highlight how libp2p addresses it "out of the box".

Should start with overview of the problem (what is NAT & why it sucks for p2p) and cover:

  • automatic port forwarding via UPnP
  • overview of STUN & description of identify protocol
    • link to spec when merged
  • overview of TURN & description of libp2p relay protocol

AutoRelay might deserve its own article, but could fit in here if we can link to #13 for details on how the DHT fits in.
