9.10. Port Control Protocol

PCP allows the subscriber to request NAT to open external ports without initializing connection. This can be useful if the subscriber wants to provide access to an internal resource, but there is no way to provide him with a permanent external IP address.

PCP is implemented in accordance with RFC 6887.
