Re: Roadmap - p2p TCP

[Peter Firmstone <ji...@zeus.net.au>]

After reading about the Natblaster report, see earlier email for 
details, I realised that with the jpcap library that a Java 
implementation could enjoy wide platform support.

Two actual implementations were tested on commercial NAT Firewalls

 From the paper:

Both our Case 2 and Case 4 implementations are successful and
able to open direct TCP connections. Case 2 reliably opens connections,
and Case 4 is successful with a high probability (the probability
of success is determined by the number of SYNs and SYN+ACKs
sent, as discussed earlier).

I'm going to have a go at implementing this.

Add TSL and you can call it Dynamic VPN between a client and its 
service, to enable services over the internet.  This would be scalable.  
Probably need a Service that provides Marshalled ServiceItem's (linked 
via a hash lookup based on serviceID added by the registrar) as well as 
a Codebase Service, the JERI Rendezvous Service (Introductions for 
clients and services) and last but not least a DNS-SD Registrar.  As 
much emphasis as possible would be placed on the client to perform 
processing, where it makes sense.

Might need a txt key for DNS-SD that indicates a service is on a private 
network, the address provided would be that of the JERI Rendezvous 
Service or a JERI Relay

Cheers,

Peter.
