My point was not to discard voip (why do you always think that way?) but to rout 
it p2p like it is now and do the rest server based.
that way the playability profits from the server-client architecture while voip 
doesn't suffer from it.

if we have both routings it might even be thinkable to route only stuff of/for 
those behind nat.
so the network connector wraps both techniques. yog server gets all incoming 
traffic but sends out only to those requesting it as they don't get a signal 
from a player. so if udp hole punching works for all, the yog router will not 
send anything and is only on stand by for the case of a connection loss to send 
the missing data.

did i get it right, voip data is mixed into the order data now?
