It would be nice if all the effort expended on fixing the NAT stuff would be matched by people deploying IPv6 applications (enabling IPv6 on recent Solaris and Linux boxes, as well as routers, seems pretty trivial, from our experience) or dispelling the notion that you can't get addresses, which seems to often be perpetuated by people who have other agendas (such as making it difficult to use more than one computer on a home DSL/cable modem). That said, I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to just have the client set up one secure tunnel to this outside entity with a real IP address, for all applications that are stymied by NATs, rather than inventing a new mechanism for each application. This does mean two relaying points, but avoids all the negotiation and myriad special cases. Can this be done with the typical VPN setups in some of the more recent OSs? -- Henning Schulzrinne http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs _______________________________________________ Audio/Video Transport Working Group avt@ietf.org http://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/avt
