Does Stratus/RTMFP support P2P behind the same NAT/Router?

Question

Does Stratus/RTMFP support peers behind the same NAT/Router?
(such that both peers have the same public IP address)
That is: if two computers (each running Flash) are behind the same NAT, and connect to Stratus to get peerID;
do we expect they can connect p2p?
Or will each one get/see just the public IP address:port of the other?
My initial tests indicate that this scenario fails [ICMP Destination Unreachable (port unreachable)]
Is this just a limitation of my local router? does this work for others?
Does Status expect the local router to detect/decode/resolve this situation?
If the solution requires 10.1 groups, is there support to detect/diagnose when/if the peer is on the same LAN?

Answer 1

Thanks for the info, sounds like RTMFP supports this, and hopefully the AFP code does the right thing.
[so, officially, the original question is answered]
Note: In one instance, i'm running two browsers on the same host,
so even the inner/LAN addresses would be the same. Therefore, if A sends to B's inner/LAN address,
the [Windows] OS network layer *should* recognize that and 'hairpin' without leaving the host, or crossing the firewall.
(I say "should" because Unix generally does that, but I'll have to check to see about Windoze).
[And such packets are probably invisible to Wireshark also, so how do i verify what's happening?
oh sure, just reconfigure to boot Linux... ]
So glad you explained that the client tries all three pathways; if it works as you say,
then I can probably ignore the ICMP error from the local router (or, as you say, teach it to do the hairpin).
Can you confirm that P2P will work between browsers (say Chrome to Firefox) on a single Windows host?
[I really want to know if I'm failing because of network configuration or application code/error;
at this point, I am able to correctly exchange the peerIds, and start the NetSteam.play,
but the two sides do not appear to be exchanging audio/video]
