- 4. An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processor, cause transmission of a packet that includes a predetermined value indicating that the apparatus supports an extension of a communications protocol, wherein the communications protocol is used for communications across a network translator device and the extension is capable of traversing network address translation.
- 7. A non-transitory computer readable media, comprising program code for causing a processor to perform instructions for transmitting, by a first device, a packet that includes a predetermined value indicating that the first device supports an extension of a communications protocol, wherein the communications protocol is used for communications across a network translator device and the extension is capable of traversing network address translation.
