I think Henning and I are saying the same thing (he's just saying it
better).
From: "Henning Schulzrinne" <hgs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Trying to devise ever more elaborate NAT traversal mechanisms that include
sending keep-alives every few seconds and various "let's try this and then
that" algorithms clearly don't scale if we want to get to consumer-grade
reliability, not just interesting toys that try to stay one step ahead of
the next stupid NAT trick.
I know that I agree with this.
Thus, I think we need a separate organization (or work with a separate
organization) that does branding and certification. It's hard to buy a
non-WiFi device in stores today; the equivalent consumer assurance needs
to be true for core consumer and small-business network devices, and
possibly services.
I don't know how this would work, but if it could be made to work, that
might be very helpful.
Thanks,
Spencer
