what is "nat compliant?"
RFC 3235 discusses how to make your application work in the Internet reality that exists today, with NAT boxes everywhere. The document is entitled, "Network Address Translator (NAT)-Friendly Application Design Guidelines." http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3235.txt This was a product of the IETF NAT Working Group, published in 2002. Note though that this document provides guidance, not compliancy requirements. Nonetheless, application developers can find useful information on how to avoid problems. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie dts@senie.com Amaranth Networks Inc. http://www.amaranth.com Kindness in words creates confidence.
