I'll go out on a limb and point out that a large chunk of the difficulty is
because every protocol has had to invent its own hack-arounds for working
across a NAT. The resulting lack of standardization making things like
Wireshark protocol examinations and sanitizing capture data is one of the less
well-known reasons why NATs are evil.

I'll cut FTP some slack - it dates back *so* far we can legitimately
say we just didn't know any better way back in the Stone Age. ;)
