The peers alice and venus are hidden behind the same NAT router moon but both are not aware of this fact. Thus they try to resolve the apparent double-NAT situation with the help of the mediation server carol where they register under the pseudonyms 6cu1UTVw@medsrv.org and F1ubAio8@medsrv.org, respectively. Based on the set of endpoints relayed to them by the mediation server, the peers find out that they can communicate directly with each other without a NAT router in between.
