More direct connections between the peers, instead of taking detours
through the "pull mode internet" where you need to find a common meeting
point somewhere which is not obscured by address mangling. And because
of many NATīs today limit the number of flows per subscriber, you also
should get more performance, which is something that directly appeals to
end users.
