A very easy method how to enable NAT traversal without the need to modify the Trackers.

The µTorrent 1.8 changelog wrote:

--- 2009-02-04: Version 1.9 (build 14470)
- Change: 'h' peer flag for connections via hole-punching
--- 2008-12-20: Version 1.9 (build 13885)
- Feature: NAT hole-punching (for uTP only)

NAT hole punching was always a part of the plan when uTP was being implemented, and as a result, hole punching has been included in µTorrent 1.9 for a long while now. Yes, using other peers as STUN servers is part of the equation too.

Is there some kind of specification for it somewhere ?

thanks

Not yet, the protocol is still being worked on.

Something similar could be done with Teredo, but I don't know how well that's documented either.

Teredo is handled automagically.

Ok then...for "regular" IPv6?
