Traversal Using Relays around NAT Extensions for TCP Allocations

Overview

RFC 6062, “Traversal Using Relays around NAT Extensions for TCP Allocations”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2010 by S. Perreault, J. Rosenberg. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This specification defines an extension of Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN), a relay protocol for Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal. This extension allows a TURN client to request TCP allocations, and defines new requests and indications for the TURN server to open and accept TCP connections with the client\'s peers. TURN and this extension both purposefully restrict the ways in which the relayed address can be used. In particular, it prevents users from running general-purpose servers from ports obtained from the TURN server. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
