<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>There are times when a client might want or need to discover what its external Internet Protocol (IP) address is, e.g. when gathering transport candidates for &xep0065; or &xep0176;. One way to do so is for the client to ask the XMPP server to which it has connected. This simple specification defines such a method. The information provided by the server cannot necessarily be relied upon because there might be intermediate entities between the client and the server, but if the IP address returned by the server is different from the client's notion of its IP address then at the very least the client has received a hint that it might be behind a network address translator (NAT) and therefore cannot usefully provide its private IP address as a candidate for use in multimedia negotiations.</p>
