also introduces a new `netlink-request` crate to help modularize the netlink code. this currently depends on a fork of the `netlink` project, but we should be able to use the official version soon.
added to `innernet {up,fetch,install}`:
--no-nat-traversal: Doesn't attempt NAT traversal
(prevents long time delays in execution of command)
--exclude-nat-candidates: Exclude a list of CIDRs from being
considered candidates
--no-nat-candidates: Don't report NAT candidates.
(shorthand for '--exclude-nat-candidates 0.0.0.0/0')
Closes#160
Before, only clients would report local addresses for NAT traversal. Servers should too! This will be helpful in common situations when the server is run inside the same LAN as other peers, and there's no NAT hairpinning enabled (or possible) on the router.
closes#146
This change adds the ability for peers to report additional candidate endpoints for other peers to attempt connections with outside of the endpoint reported by the coordinating server.
While not a complete solution to the full spectrum of NAT traversal issues (TURN-esque proxying is still notably missing), it allows peers within the same NAT to connect to each other via their LAN addresses, which is a win nonetheless. In the future, more advanced candidate discovery could be used to punch through additional types of NAT cone types as well.
