It sounds like you're describing the F2F structure underlying the
Retroshare network (though it does piggyback atop the BitTorrent DHT
as a shortcut for peer finding). However, Retroshare has evidenced
some significant problems on Windows as a platform, and UPnP for
automatic port forwarding is dodgy at the best because not every home
router out there supports it correctly (or at all).
