Synopsis

A STUN server is listening on the remote host.

Description

The remote service supports the STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) protocol as described in RFC 5389. STUN helps client software behind a NAT router discover the external public address and the behavior of the router.

Note that an earlier version of the protocol used a different acronym
- 'Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Through Network Address Translators (NATs)' - as specified in RFC 3489.
