Cited from Teredo:
Teredo relays are IPv6 routers that advertise reachability of the
Teredo service IPv6 prefix through the IPv6 routing protocols.
 
Teredo address format:
  +-------------+-------------+-------+------+-------------+
  | Prefix      | Server IPv4 | Flags | Port | Client IPv4 |
  +-------------+-------------+-------+------+-------------+
  
   - Prefix: the 32 bit Teredo service prefix.
   - Server IPv4: the IPv4 address of a Teredo server.

Whether or no, Teredo does not support symmetric NATs.
