HI, I really wonder the future of nat helper mechnism because of the UPnP. UPnP can do all the things that nat helper can do. Using UPnP, If we want to provide nat traversing in gateway we won't need to survey any application protocol and just need to support the upnp. Then traversing nat is a task by application client providers and it is much more simple to them -- they just provide upnp script or subfunction and publish it in next version. Then anyone can tell me a more detailed comparision between nat helper and UPnP and give the advantage of nat helper mechnism comparision the UPnP. Thank you very much!!! --s.c.lian --http://www.eyou.com --Îȶ¨¿É¿¿µÄµç×ÓÐÅÏä ÓïÒôÓʼþ Òƶ¯ÊéÇ© ÈÕÀú·þÎñ ÍøÂç´æ´¢...ÒÚÓÊδ¾¡ --http://vip.eyou.com --¿ì¿ìµÇ¼ÒÚÓÊVIPÐÅÏä ×¢²áÄúÖÐÒâµÄÓû§Ãû
