Direct Connection Upgrade through Relay (DCUtR) protocol enables [hole punching](#hole-punching) for NAT traversal when port forwarding is not possible. A peer will coordinate with the counterparty using a [relayed connection](#circuit-relay-v2), to upgrade to a direct connection through a NAT/firewall whenever possible.

### Delegate routing
### Delegated routing

[Delegated Routing V1 HTTP API](https://specs.ipfs.tech/routing/http-routing-v1/) is not a routing system but a general API to offload **content**, **peer**, and **IPNS** routing queries.
Delegated routing is a mechanism by which IPFS implementations can offload content routing, peer routing, and naming (IPNS) to another process/server. The most widely adopted vendor-agnostic spec for delegated routing is the [Delegated Routing V1 HTTP API](https://specs.ipfs.tech/routing/http-routing-v1/).

This is useful in browsers and other constrained environments where it's infeasible to be a DHT client/server. More broadly, it enables experimentation and innovation in content routing while maintaining interoperability and modularity.
