[gst-devel] NAT issue

[Andrey Nechypurenko]

Hi,

This was one of the reasons why we decide to use ZeroC's Ice
middleware with appsrc/sink for our streaming purposes. They have
pretty powerful solution for firewall related problems -

We will provide more details in our presentation at GStreamer conference.

Andrey.
