Re: Developer info for NAT ALG



Greetings Brent,

A lot of these features have changed in the various Messenger versions and are changing in
Vista. As such, why are you creating a ALG? Why not just support UPnP which would allow all
this to work, regardless of versions now and in the future?

I am working on improving an existing NAT ALG that we use for helping MSN's
talk, whiteboard and remote assistance to work through NAT.

I was wondering if there is a list of messages that contain payloads, or
some protocol document that explains the messages that are sent back and
fourth.

Is there some partnership that Microsoft has with other companies to give
them updates when there is a change in the protocol or advanced warning on
new releases of the protocol so that our routers can get testing on the new
protocol? I dont know where to start with this...

I have looked around and have just found posts talking avout older MSN
protocols, nothing close to MSNP14
