The main value of STUN is to unambiguously define the message formats
used in the protocol, and the server responses to these messages. The
discovery algorithm is, IMHO, less useful.

The algorithm in RFC 3489 is based on a categorization of NAT that was
state of the art three years ago. As our knowledge progresses, we may
expect implementers to try better algorithms. As long as they don't
change message formats and server behavior, this will not break
interoperability.
