Want to know what your IP address is, so that you can tell other people to open connections to that address in order to talk to you? Well, ask a peer that you have connected to! (That peer could be, but doesn't have to be, the introducer.)

ICE standard:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6544

(Not that we need to use the standard for this, but it might contain some nuggets of wisdom about how to do this effectively.)

#169
STUNT-like operation is planned in the module mentioned there. But, it's not actually STUNT or ICE. ICE is probably a bit more robust, but such a pain...

If you like this ticket, you may also like #49 (UPnP), #169 (tcp hole-punching!), #445 (implement relay: allow storage servers behind NAT), and #754 (merge manually specified tub location with autodetected tub location).
