<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>It seems that most practical
problems during implementation come from firewall issues. Are you guys planning
to (at least) narrow the UDP port range for VIC and RAT, or maybe (in my dreams)
tunnel all audio/video traffic through a few number of ports
that are usually open? I have been networking with a lot of people who are
desperate to set up their nodes and they hit a brick wall every time it comes to
push changes through their IT departments, who are freaking out about the idea
of opening ports in such a wide range. More and more people would like to
use the system via PIGs and not necessarily big institutional nodes that require
weeks, if not months of negotiations and arm-twisting each time a new client is
added at a new location. (The AG Connector would be really helpful, except it
causes an ominous looping drop of all audio-video connections, as it has been
reported before, and it is very unreliable). Extra features in v3.0 are nice,
but I truly believe that the firewall/ports issue is the most significant
barrier to wider adoption of the Toolkit.</FONT></DIV>
