Tavis,

Check out http://www.brynosaurus.com/pub/net/p2pnat/, it's not quite what 
you're asking for but it does include a table of data gathered from 
volunteers, detailing the percentage of NATs that support udp/tcp 
hole-punching and hairpin (loopback) translation.  I'm concerned about the 
latter, it appears that not even ICE can resolve that issue.
