Item type:Item, To Call or To Be Called Behind NATs is Sensitive in Solving the Direct Connection Problem(2011-01-01) ;Ho, Cheng-Yuan ;Tseng, Chien-Chao ;Wang, Fu-Yu ;Wang, Jui-TangLin, Ying-DarIn this article, we first depict the call-role sensitivity problem in Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal, and then propose an approach to resolving the problem. The problem is whether a direct connection can be found between two peers across NATs mainly depends on the NAT type at the caller's side. We propose the extra-candidate connectivity check where both peers initiate a direct connectivity check to eliminate the effect of the call role. We have implemented the extra-candidate connectivity check and conducted experiments with 18 different NATs. Experimental results show that our approach can indeed resolve the call-role sensitivity problem, and maximize the direct connectivity rate (DCR) which is improved by 18.71% from the original scheme.Item type:Item, NAT-Compatibility Testbed: An Environment to Automatically Verify Direct Connection Rate(2011-01-01) ;Ho, Cheng-Yuan ;Wang, Fu-Yu ;Tseng, Chien-Chao ;Lin, Ying-Dar資訊工程學系In this article, an NAT-compatibility testbed is designed to automatically conduct the repeated experiments, collect the test results, and verify the direct connection rate (DCR) of any NAT traversal programs. Achieving a high DCR is important because using relays may unnecessarily increase the bandwidth cost, processing load of the relay servers, and the end-to-end packet delay. The NAT-compatibility testbed is constructed with 4 components: two peers, an automatic execution mechanism, NAT devices, and signaling/intermediate servers such as STUN, TURN, and SIP. It is also called the fully meshed testbed because the test result of all NAT combinations is a square. It measures the DCR of ICE, KeyStone, and PJNATH as 53.7%, 59.87%, and 50.93%, respectively. Experimental results show that asymmetric and unexpected direct connectivity check results occur in the real Internet. In order to enhance NAT traversal capability, the findings, like "port prediction" and "call-role sensitivity problem," are also described in the experimental results.Item type:Item, Can: A context-aware NAT traversal scheme(2013-07-01) ;Tseng, Chien-Chao ;Lin, Chia-Liang ;Yen, Li-Hsing ;Liu, Jyun-YanHo, Cheng-YuanNetwork Address Translation (NAT) is a technique commonly used to share one public IPv4 address among several hosts located behind a NAT device. NAT devices typically block session requests originating from outside, causing NAT traversal problem that prevents the establishment of peer-to-peer (P2P) sessions. There have been many proposals for the NAT traversal problem. However, existing methods induce high connectivity check delay and resource demand when finding a communicating path, calling for a routine that determines the path best suited for a given pair of communicating peers. This study proposes CAN, a Context-Aware NAT traversal scheme which gathers and exchanges network-context information to find the most appropriate path for two communicating peers behind NAT devices. We have implemented CAN and conducted extensive experiments with off-the-shelf NAT devices to compare the performance of CAN with Interactivity Connectivity Establishment (ICE), the most acknowledged approach to creating a session across NATs. Experimental results show that CAN outperforms ICE in terms of direct communication ratio, connectivity check delay and message overload when checking connectivity. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
