Pion STUN

A Go implementation of STUN

Roadmap

The library is used as a part of our WebRTC implementation. Please refer to that roadmap to track our major milestones.

STUN

Package stun implements Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) [RFC5389] protocol and client with no external dependencies and zero allocations in hot paths. Client supports automatic request retransmissions.

Example

You can get your current IP address from any STUN server by sending binding request. See more idiomatic example at cmd/stun-client.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/pion/stun"
)

func main() {
	// Creating a "connection" to STUN server.
	c, err := stun.Dial("udp", "stun.l.google.com:19302")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	// Building binding request with random transaction id.
	message := stun.MustBuild(stun.TransactionID, stun.BindingRequest)
	// Sending request to STUN server, waiting for response message.
	if err := c.Do(message, func(res stun.Event) {
		if res.Error != nil {
			panic(res.Error)
		}
		// Decoding XOR-MAPPED-ADDRESS attribute from message.
		var xorAddr stun.XORMappedAddress
		if err := xorAddr.GetFrom(res.Message); err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
		fmt.Println("your IP is", xorAddr.IP)
	}); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

Supported RFCs

• [x] RFC 5389 — Session Traversal Utilities for NAT
• [x] RFC 5769 — Test Vectors for STUN
• [x] RFC 6062 — TURN extensions for TCP allocations
• [x] RFC 7064 — STUN URI
• [x] (TLS-over-)TCP client support
• [ ] ALTERNATE-SERVER support #48
• [x] RFC 5780 — NAT Behavior Discovery Using STUN via cmd/stun-nat-behaviour

Stability

Package is currently stable, no backward incompatible changes are expected with exception of critical bugs or security fixes.

Additional attributes are unlikely to be implemented in scope of stun package, the only exception is constants for attribute or message types.

RFC 3489 notes

RFC 5389 obsoletes RFC 3489, so implementation was ignored by purpose, however, RFC 3489 can be easily implemented as separate package.

Requirements

Go 1.12 is currently supported and tested in CI.

Testing

Client behavior is tested and verified in many ways:

• End-To-End with long-term credentials
  • coturn: The coturn server (linux)
• Bunch of code static checkers (linters)
• Standard unit-tests with coverage reporting (linux {amd64, arm64}, windows and darwin)
• Explicit API backward compatibility check, see api directory

See TeamCity project and e2e directory for more information. Also the Wireshark .pcap files are available for e2e test in artifacts for build.
