Re: [twsocket] tcp hole punching
HI Francois Probably Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)is what you are looking for. How reliable is that ? Btw: Skype is using an intermediate server to locate users. Looks normal to exchange connection data Paul -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: [twsocket] tcp hole punching
Probably Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)is what you are looking for. How reliable is that ? What do you mean ? Are you asking if it works ? The answer is yes. Are you asking it is always available ? The answer is no. It is disabled on firewalls or routers where security is really controlled. Most home user have it turn on because they don't even know what it is. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

[twsocket] tcp hole punching
Hi all, It's been a while since last time due tue another (electronics) job. Now I need to establisch a P2P connection that can pass firewalls. Does anyone knows how it should be done ? I probably need a gateway to extinguish connection data, but I don't have a clue how it should be done. Any help and/or examples available ? TIA Paul BTW: what is the status of IpV6 ? -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

Where is the server, where is the client(s), where is the firewall ? Is each client also a server or do they work thru an intermediate server ? Do you have control over the infrastructure (Firewall config for example) ? -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: [twsocket] tcp hole punching
Hi Francois, I thougth that the whole idea of hole punching is a way to let NAT and firewalls thinck that there is no server that a gateway is needed to exchange connection date between the 2 peers. Since these are adhoc connections, there is no control over firewalls. I need something like Skype does Paul - Original Message - From: François Piette francois.pie...@skynet.be To: 'ICS support mailing' twsocket@elists.org Sent: Friday, March 02, 2012 8:39 PM Subject: Re: [twsocket] tcp hole punching Now I need to establisch a P2P connection that can pass firewalls.
