This paper attempts to describe in detail the problems associated with
passing H.323 through firewalls and NAT devices, and discuss the appli-
cability of a range of technologies currently available to solve these
problems.  We conclude that the only general solution to the problem is
external application control of firewalls.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
