NATOkoder
NATOkoder is a fictional open-source software framework used in technical tutorials to illustrate building applications that operate behind network address translation (NAT). The term combines NAT, referring to the practice of modifying network address information, with koder, signaling a toolkit for encoding and managing data streams in NATed networks.
NATOkoder is designed as a modular, cross-language platform that provides a core encoding and decoding engine,
Key features commonly illustrated with NATOkoder include: pluggable encoders and decoders; transport adapters for UDP/TCP and
Typical use cases depicted with NATOkoder are peer-to-peer communication applications, real-time multiplayer games, IoT device management
In a fictional development setting, NATOkoder is described as community-driven and distributed under a permissive open-source
