[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

Now I need to establisch a P2P connection that can pass firewalls. Does anyone knows how it should be done ? Could you more explicit about the situation ? 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.

Btw: Skype is using an intermediate server to locate users. -- 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
