Libnjaim is a library for NAT traversal written in C. Clients separated by different NATs cannot create direct TCP connection. While communication through relaying is too expensive, we provide this library in the hope of solving the problem in some cases.
When establishing direct TCP connection is impossible or hard, libnjaim will establish reliable UDP connection instead. The caller is presented with a uniform interface simulating the standard socket functions, without the need to care about actual protocol for connection.
This document should be understood easily by anyone with programming experience in C.
