Peer-to-Peer Networking with Firewalls

Lu Yan, Kaisa Sere, Xinrong Zhou, Peer-to-Peer Networking with Firewalls. TUCS Technical Reports 554, Turku Centre for Computer Science, 2003.

Abstract:

A lot of networks today are behind firewalls. In peer-to-peer networking, firewall-protected peers may have to communicate with peers outside the firewall. This paper shows how to design peer-to-peer systems to work with different kinds of firewalls within the object-oriented action systems framework by combining formal and informal methods. We present our approach via a case study of extending a Gnutella-style peer-to-peer system to provide connectivity through firewalls.
