           Summary: The NAT standard is not supported by the quake3 code,
                    making some routers disrupting networking completely

According to the NAT standard, a router _can_ change the source port of a
packet. In this case some routers change the heartbeat packets' source port,
meaning master servers may be unable to accommodate certain servers at least
without workarounds or further configuration.

I suppose the logical solution is to collect the port information from the data
part of the heartbeat and not the source port of it.
