I'd rather see the IPv6 in UDP protocol be defined as that is not

in the new draft (draft-blanchet-v6ops-tunnelbroker-tsp-00) and
I think that it is an interesting thing to have as many of those
so called "NAT-routers" don't support proto-41 forwarding but
do allow forwarding of udp packets on a certain port. This is
basically one of the things that Teredo addresses but that uses
a completely different model and also has signalling included.
The TSPC 1.0 sources provided through the Freenet6 site don't
mention anything about these UDP tunnels either. Having a
standard for these would be a good thing as then the OS's could
be made to support it also and afaik there is no such support yet.
Maybe the above is going to be addressed for -01?
PS: Marc, use 2001:db8::/32 and 192.0.2.0/24 in examples.

Jeroen,
As I stated in a previous email on the list, I'm working on the -01 rev. of this draft which will include details on the UDP stuff. Wait a few more days.


As for the client source code, the web site client is outdated. Client source for NAT traversal is available (GPL) and will appear there at some point. Send me an email if you'd like a copy sooner.
