What's an acceptable setup time, and what are you currently seeing? I'm working on a NAT layer and am seeing about 1600ms setup latency, which is higher than I'd like, but probably acceptable for my needs.
As for restricted NATs, nothing special needs to be done to connect them to other restricted, fullcone, or static IPs. But they can't connect to symmetric NATs without some work. I don't know how Skype handles it (actually, I haven't heard anything about the NAT traversal of Skype -- any idea what kind of connectivity it gets?), but I do know they use clients as relay servers, so unless they're doing some tricky symmetric work (which they probably are), they must be using relays. -david > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:p2p-hackers- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sylvio Drouin > Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 4:28 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [p2p-hackers] libjingle and xmlrpc > > David > > Connection establishment time is a serious issue.
