So Skype has a 100% success rate piercing NATs and does not require any fallbacks? Also you mentioned that you do not use STUN/TURN, what other solutions are there that allow for p2p data streams between browsers?

I may be wrong but I don't think Skype works without at least a browser extension.

Not all people have Chrome or latest version of Chrome and I think a fairly recent version is required to relay over TCP.

Yeah IPv6 is valuable but it seems NAT is the smallest inconvenience since a p2p connection can usually still be made. Briefly giving it thought, I don't think IPv6 could rid the use of TURN servers or close the other 5% of anomalies. Am I wrong?

Exact reason why I think this is great news, it will likely be a more actively developed version of what ST is now... plus some extras
