Node traversal

Hey,

I aim to understand how NAT node traversal works in IPFS. I’ve found https://github.com/wking/ipfs-specs/tree/master/protocol/network but it does not exactly answer my question. In comparison, here’s an illustration how Freenet’s node traversal work:


Can this be compared to how IPFS’ traversal work, or is there any differences?

Images like this are very important to adoption and being able to conceptual grasp the work being done. I look forward to when a figure is posted that helps demonstrate node traversal. I am particularly interested because I am trying to identify a library/libraries that are suitable for the Quantum Resistant Ledger. We are currently using twisted.internet.protocol and I believe there are better options.
