RE: Video Conferencing options to Beijing

Spencer,

Skype (not for business) is what I've used in the past for video-conferencing 
inside the great (fire)wall. It works without a VPN, not sure if there are any 
limitations currently.

External Email - Use Caution |

I know this is a bit outside of North America, so if this isn't relevant, 
please let me know. I have a client that is asking for video conferencing 
options back to Beijing for their users. What has everyone's experience been 
with setting up a solution like this?

We have to assume the Chinese users will be on non-VPN connections and under 
the filters of the Great Firewall of China. We are looking for software that 
can be installed on Windows, so apps that rely on Android or iOS are at bottom 
of our list, but not fully out of consideration.

Teams was my first thought, but per Microsoft, Teams isn't available in China:

NAT/CGNAT IP address/users ratios

2021-05-18 Thread Scott, Thomas
Hello NANOG (and friends),

Asking if anyone would care to share their CGNAT and NAT ratios. We're looking 
at some best practices and I wanted to see what the community at large has seen 
working, and not working.

I am by no means a NAT expert, and usually I see the other end where it's 
clearly *not* working.

Does anyone have estimating formulas for devices/users to internal blocks to 
public IPs?
