Connection tracking
Connection tracking allows the kernel to keep track of all logical network connections or sessions, and thereby relate all of the packets which may make up that connection.

NAT-PMP
NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) is a protocol used for transparent peer-to-peer network connectivity of personal computers and network-enabled intelligent devices or appliances.
Packet Flow in RouterOS
More advanced firewall setups, or complicated tasks, such as traffic prioritization, routing policies, where it is necessary to utilize more than one RouterOS facility, require knowledge: How do these facilities work together? What happens when and why?
UPnP
MikroTik RouterOS supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) architecture, which enables transparent peer-to-peer network connectivity between personal computers and network-enabled devices or appliance.
