This means that peer-to-peer protocols don't Just Work [tm]. We all know that SIP is generally broken in the presense of NAT and how multimple partial workarounds have been found. Any VoIP call between two ANT-ed clients will required a proxy outside the NAT. Hence more delay and more complicated setup. And less on-topic: See if you can find anything interesting under http://laptop.org/ / http://wiki.laptop.org/ . They use ipv6 as part as their effort to create a set of computers that are always connected. The mesh networking infrastructure there is interesting. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
