Although I can see the cases where people would like to use Iperf from behind
a NAT it isn't one that I have run into myself and certainly isn't an issue in
my day job.  As a result it's not a high priority for me right now.

That said, I'd love to see a good implementation of this in Iperf but it is
number 37 on a list of 10 things I can focus on right now.  So, I've added "Be
NAT friendly" as a feature request to the Iperf tracker on Sourceforge.
Patches welcome!

Cheers,

Jon
