   Dear Michiel,

   A "software client" in this context is a software like Transmission or   
   uTorrent for example, which is capable of requesting a router to open a port   
   to allow incoming packets to the address/ports where the software is listening.   
      
   In other words, a "software client" is something that "applies" pin-holing to   
   a firewall.

    MV> Please eleborate...   
      
   The Transmission torrent client, and the syncthing file synchronization   
   utility can use the UPnP protocol to request a firewall to pass *IPv4*   
   incoming traffic (and create a port porwarding for IPv4 NAT). They cannot   
   however (at least to my knowledge) use UPnP or any other protocol to request a   
   router to open a hole for incoming traffic in an *IPv6* firewall.
