Triangular routing

Triangular routing is a method for transmitting packets of data in communications networks. It uses a form of routing that sends a packet to a proxy system before transmission to the intended destination. Triangular routing is a problem in mobile IP, however it finds applications in other networking situations, for instance to avoid problems associated with network address translation (NAT), implemented for example by Skype.
