12:24 < smcv> youmin: there are a couple of features you might be looking for, 
              and we don't implement either of them yet :-(
12:25 < youmin> @scmv tell me
12:25 < smcv> either: we do the Jingle/NAT traversal/pseudo-TCP and present you 
              with something that looks to you like TCP
12:25 < smcv> or: we present you with something that looks like UDP, and you do 
              an existing packet-based protocol over ti
12:25 < smcv> I don't know which of them you want, but neither exists yet

The first feature there is Bug #22930.

The second feature mentioned there is a datagram ("UDP") tube; I'm filing this
bug to represent it. When the spec has been written (quite easy, just
copy/paste/change StreamTube) it will need implementations in at least Gabble
(Jingle) and Salut (easy: UDP forwarding onto the local LAN).

One day, we would like to make OpenArena or ioquake3 into a UDP tubes client,
so you can run a Quake 3 listen server behind a firewall and share it with your
IM contacts :-) It could also be interesting to have OpenVPN integration.

This is a lower priority than Bug #22930, I think.
