Subject: Re: [Openh323gk-users] Proxy Mode to traverse firewalls
Hello Andrew,
I'm managing a VC network of almost 70 public high schools, all
with legacy Polycom Viewstations, and with every imaginable firewall,
connecting from all over the state via Internet. I'm doing almost
exactly what you are asking about (If you look at the mailing list
posting before yours' you'll also see some of what I'm not succeeding
at) in the testing phase. I think I may already have a working
configuration for what you want. Drop me an email and we can exchange
phone #.
GnuGK has its own firewall traversal, and it works very well in
the most common situations (at least in my experience). It's related to
the H.460.18/19 approach that the V2IU as well as the Tandberg and
Radvision solutions support, but it's not the same. (But you may want to
look up some of Simon Horne's posts on this list to see the status of
H.460 in H323plus and GnuGK development). It also proxies (which is
important) and neighbors well (which helps in a situation like yours and
mine, with one central phone number database).
The problem with those commercial solutions for us is the
licensing sucks: Polycom lets you use any number of clients up to the
bandwidth of the unit, but doesn't give you a software client for old
non-H.460 endpoints. Radvision gives you a software client but charges
too much per user (for our situation - we occasionally have 50+ schools
in a call).
Hope I can be of some help,
--Paul
