[Live-devel] About RTSP over UDP behind firewall.

[Fang Laifa]

Dear Ross,

    Thanks for your reply. These days I  have a google on such kind of
technique. It seems that it was called "UDP hole punch". Could you
please tell me which RFC is in progress on such kind of mechanism? Are
there any draft standard now? I just wonder why youtube and realplayer
can works well under no standards on that. Thanks.
