Hello AG Tech,
There have been a few emails discussing NATS and Access Grid connectivity on the list lately. I am trying to setup and Access Grid at another site. Trying to go through their NAT on my end is no problem. I see all external and local site video just fine. The only issue is the NATted site will get most external video streams that are connected but they do not see their local video. Also as they restart their video, more remote site video streams appear. Just no local video. This is no surprise as NATed routers do not have true end to end connectivity and it may break some IP protocols such as UDP. I am testing in the NCSA Lobby (venue server) and as this site does not support off site multicast, they are bridging unicast. I have tested this in AG 2.4/3.0.2. My question is...if I would setup my own venue server, would I be able to pull off any tricks for both sides to transmit and received video just between our two sites? Hoping only just connecting between two sites would help out some how... Is there any way to build a stripped down venue server that would pull off any port forwarding tricks? I remember there was a project called AG Connector but I can't find any information about it. To anyone's knowledge, would this be useful in my quest?
