I think that the ssh connection application already has a fairly reasonable story for NATs and firewalls, so I don't see much of a need for ssh itself to advance in this area. For the most part people who block port 22 really do intend to block ssh and so having standard facilities to get around that would not be appropriate. The port forwarding support in ssh seems to be an adequate solution for NATs. SNMP can use these facilities certainly. However you may want/need a more automated solution. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
