Peer to peer

Iroh 1.0 ships a stable P2P networking library that connects devices by cryptographic key instead of IP address. QUIC under the hood, 90% hole-punch success, 200M+ endpoints/month, and now stable language bindings for Python, Node.js, Swift, and Kotlin.

Discover how IPv6's massive address space eliminates the need for NAT, restoring true end-to-end connectivity. Learn the technical differences between IPv4 and IPv6, why NAT was necessary, and how IPv6 enables direct peer-to-peer communication for gaming, VoIP, IoT, and more.

Learn how NAT traversal enables peer-to-peer connectivity through firewalls and routers. Understand STUN, TURN, ICE protocols, hole punching techniques, and practical implementation strategies.
