Guys

I would just like to let you know that GnuGk 2.3.1 (CVS) and H323plus 1.21 (CVS) now support the complete H.323 NAT Traversal solution.

This a major step forward for both projects and H.323.

I have built a sample windows installer for GnuGk and MyPhone (CVS version) for demonstration purposes.

GnuGk Windows Installer (Win2000 or above)

www.h323plus.org/standards/GnuGkSetup231.exe

MyPhone Installer (XP or above)

www.h323plus.org/standards/MyPhoneSetup121.exe

Any queries then please address them to the appropriate mailing lists.

Details for what the standards do:

H.460.18

Mechanism to enable registration and call signalling traversal across a NAT/FW

H.460.19

Mechanism to enable media traversal (proxying) across a NAT/FW

H.460.23 (ITU approval in November)

NAT detection and classification

H.460.24 (ITU approval in November)

Point to Point Media through NAT. Allows media to traverse NAT/FW without the need to proxy media (disable H.460.19).

H.460.24 Annex A

Same NAT RTCP probe. Extension of H.460.24 to allow endpoints behind the same NAT/FW to probe for direct connectivity.

The standards documents are available from Packetizer.
