    NAT_UPNP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play#NAT_traversal
    NAT_PMP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT_Port_Mapping_Protocol

    Both are methods that allow a client (e.g. utorrent) to reconfigure the firewall in your router to pass certain traffic that would normally be blocked.

    It requires the router to support the protocol. Normally you would be able to check this by looking at its documentation or by logging into its admin interface (usually with a web browser).
