Lacking context

Someone more familiar with PCP should probably write about how PCP differs from IGDP and NAT-PMP and how PCP was considered necessary. The article as currently authored suggests PCP is a revolutionary technology which evolved in a vacuum; this is far from the truth. 206.186.37.200 (talk) 20:11, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there! That's a very good remark, went ahead and explained briefly the relation between PCP, NAT-PMP and IGDP. Also, did a major cleanup of the article's language. Please check it out. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 13:09, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Security section needs work

The security section is clear as mud. I have the CISSP credential and don't understand most of what is being said here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.127.205.58 (talk) 23:09, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

broken reference - with fix!

the link to the 2nd reference (Dan Wing (December 2011). "Port Control Protocol". The Internet Protocol Journal. Cisco Systems. Retrieved January 31, 2014.) is broken.

after some digging, I found a link to PDF of it: https://ipj.dreamhosters.com/wp-content/uploads/issues/2011/ipj14-4.pdf

I tried editing the reference directly but couldn't figure it out. apologies
