A peer that wants to be available for hole punching needs to constantly be connected (subscribed) to the rendezvous server so it can be notified by other peers about new hole punching attempts. Also it needs to provide its peer ID (e.g. a public key for encryption) and its endpoint (public IP address and port) to other peers before those can initiate the hole punching. -The example applications include a naive rendezvous server implementation which allows any peer to subscribe by registering a peer ID (an arbitrary string) and endpoint information. Other peers can then query that information and send notifications through the server. +The assumption of those techniques is that there is a side-channel (i.e. a rendezvous server) between the two hosts.
