Usability: NAT Traversal #26

Maybe some high-level tools & script for crumbling over our firewalls can help users in complex scenarios such as Client -> ISP aka Starbucks -> LoginNode -> HeadNode -> Cluster where each of them defines yet-an-other firewall layer.

Cool!

I should definitely test, whether a UDP tunnel with RTP is more stable than JSON embedded images over TCP. And then make some scripts out of it. ;)

ax3l commented 8 years ago

Haha, I am fine with TCP - just let us have at least tunnel scripts for those connections. Otherwise RFC 6544 defines TCP candidates with ICE if you are feeling lucky, but ultimately no-one will complain how you punch your hole in the firewall, as long as you punch :notes:

But yes, testing that would be very interesting!

theZiz commented 8 years ago

I like TCP more, too. Makes things easier. However RTP is using less bandwidth than the JSON URI strings. I will just test things. Maybe IceCast is the solution? TCP + Stream...
