Hi Partha,

I see this as an outstanding question on the use-cases document and I
want to resolve it prior to the publication request.

I want to check my understanding of the points you bring up. See below.

So the point of this requirement would be to differentiate to the other
existing requirements that a NAT/FW combination may provide no UDP and
no support for incoming TCP. Thus, if one goes into solution space, you
need a proxy/relay solution where a peer can establish a point of
presence outside of the NAT/FW which is reachable over non-UDP, thus
assuming TCP as only alternative.

>From my perspective the combination of F2 and F29 implicitly demands the
support of a relay solution, and that it is unnecessary to add an
explicit requirement. This as the failure rate for incoming TCP
connections through any NAT is high irrespective of explicit blocking of
incoming TCP or not.

I think this is unclear, as there are two aspects of this. The peers are
either behind different FW or the same FW/NAT. If it is the second, I
think this will simply work the same way two client on an non firewalled
network would work. At least ICE will find it. If it is the first, I
think that is implicitly included in F2.

Thus I question if there any utility in adding anything about this in
the use-case document.

WG, please contribute your views on this and if we need to make any
changes to the document in regards to this proposal.

Cheers

Magnus Westerlund
