overview for shotgun

Thanks a bunch for the detailed response! Yes, for this project which is not really serious I just need to have some NAT scenarios working, so that I can try it with a few friends. I'm on a quest to understand how decentralized technologies and cryptography work. I think rusturn should do the trick.

Any recommended creates for NAT traversal? (links.hackliberty.org)

I've seen a few but I can't decide which protocol to use yet. I'm working on a DHT pet project and I'd like to avoid making it rely on any relay servers.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

I'm building this implementation of a circular DHT from scratch because I want to learn and understand how peer-to-peer protocols work. So far so good, but I'm realizing I don't know two things and I don't know where to find them:

What NAT traversal method to use. Do I necessarily need to rely on relay servers for UDP hole punching or STUN?
What is the most reasonable way to test the overall system is working? Should I build a docker network with each node being a container or are there specialized tools for testing networked applications?

Thanks in advance for any answers or pointers!

I'm following this course with its book and it's really nice.
