> name based networking

P2P peers don't care about names or IP addresses, they just need a stream or datagram connection to the other node. Yes, Tor offers such level of abstraction and it works for services where latency is not critical, which is why the whole Bisq networks runs on Tor and it's great. This however does not work for high-throughput (Bittorrent) or low-latency services (IM, A/V calls) which is precisely why NAT is such a nuisance.
