Assuming, as you said the ports are forwarded correctly you can send UDP packets to 2 clients behind router's.
To add to Dotmister's response, if the ports are not forwarded correctly (e.g. The router isn't statically configured to forward the ports), you will have to look into something like UDP hole punching. Either way, in order to discover a new node without some sort of central server you'll have to rely on some sort of Multicast.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
