What kind of firewall is supported? Does it work with Symmetric NAT?

Frequent questions about VOIP NAT Traversal and Media Path O...
It should work with any type of firewall including Symmetric NAT. Symmetric NAT is performed only by advanced enterprise routers, in that case NATPass™ will recognize this scenario and will make the call succeed by signaling and doing RTP bridging. It is all transparent for the user and there is no need to reconfigure anything.

What kind of NAT, Web proxy and firewall traversal is supported by SSTP client?

Routing and Remote Access Blog : SSTP FAQ - Part 2: Client S...
Outgoing SSTP connection can pass through any kind of NAT and firewalls - as long as TCP port 443 is allowed (which is normally the case). If the VPN client is behind a web proxy, then outgoing SSTP connection can go through in normal web proxy. SSTP does not support "authenticated" web proxies (i.e. proxies which require some form of authentication during HTTP CONNECT request).

Can Miredo serve behind a symmetric NAT?

Miredo : Question & answers
Currently, Miredo cannot serve as a Teredo client behind a symmetric NAT. However, in preparation for this to eventually become possible, Miredo can accept other clients behind a symmetric NAT (as of version 0.9.8). It's a matter of time before Miredo supports symmetric NATs to a larger extent (however in any case, support for symmetric NATs will never be equal to support for other NATs due to limitations of symmetric NATs).

How does NAT work ?

www.draytek.com.au -
If the packet is to go out the WAN interface, the router applies NAT (Network Address Translation) by changing the packet header's source address from the originating device's private LAN IP, to its own public IP address. Thus when it arrives at its destination, it will appear to have originated from your routers public address, and any reply will be sent there.

Will Xbox Live work behind my NAT router/firewall?

Unofficial Xbox FAQ
For most routers, yes. The service is designed to work behind a NAT router and you should be able to just plug in and go, assuming your router is handling DHCP services.

Yes, but you will get better performance if other peers can connect to you. By default, BitTorrent listens on port 6881, trying incrementially higher ports if it's unable to bind. It gives up after 6889 (the port range is configurable.) It's up to you to figure out how to poke a hole in your firewall/NAT.

In the eRacks/NAT Firewall, Is NAT used for incoming or outgoing traffic?

eRacks faq
Incoming traffic is usually accomplished by simple port-forwarding, with certain types (fragmented, for example) of traffic filtered out. Although ports can be forwarded to other internal IP addresses, this isn't generally referred to as NAT, which includes port-remapping as well as forwarding.
