Wow, excellent data.  Great paper, too.  Regarding the data, I see it 
dtail TCP port prediction; do those results closely correlate with UDP 
prediction?

And I think the relevant column is "TCP Binding/Delta", correct?  If so, 
it appears that only two of the tested NATs used random port 
assignments, which is encouraging.
