NAT Traversal

After a successful session at the ITEXPO last month in Los Angeles, Eyeball Networks (News - Alert) has again set its sights on another big year.

 

Shahadat Khan, CTO of Eyeball Networks, was invited to speak at the conference in recognition of Eyeball's leadership in firewall and NAT traversal solutions for handset makers and operators.

 

Khan said he was pleased to have the opportunity to share his thoughts on the challenges and progress on making cellular-Internet dual mode communication a success.

 

Eyeball's software revolves around several core areas focused on delivering the best possible VoIP and video communications experience to the subscriber: Dynamic bandwidth adaptation and scalable video compression; AnyBandwidth Technology; NAT and firewall traversal; AnyFirewall Technology; guaranteed 100 percent  call completion; and VoIP and video telephony SPAM prevention AntiSPIT Technology.

 

Eyeball Networks is also leading developer of NAT-traversal solutions, supplied the reference STUN-TURN server for 22nd SIP interoperability test event arranged by SIP forum. Eyeball AnyFirewall Engine also participated in the event as one of the most comprehensive implementation of latest IETF drafts on STUN, TURN and ICE for seamless traversal VoIP calls through NATs, firewalls and web-proxies.

 

Eyeball's NAT and firewall traversal software is optimized to complete as many VoIP and video calls through peer-to-peer media delivery (with fallback to client/server) due to the many benefits this direct approach provides. From the reduced infrastructure and operational costs to the improved call quality and call latency times, peer-to-peer is the preferred way to go.

 

 “We had recently upgraded our AnyFirewall Server and Engine to use the latest STUN, TURN and ICE drafts, and were looking forward to see it perform with other solutions in the industry,” said Khan.

 

One of the most critical issues hindering wide scale VoIP adoption is firewall and NAT traversal.  Eyeball's patented AnyFirewall Technology offers - for the first time in the industry- a completely software-based solution that is standards-based (i.e. STUN, TURN, ICE) and primarily peer-to-peer resulting in 100 percent VoIP and video call completion.
