How is this service different?

The firewall Network Address Translation (NAT) issue is the main reason which has held back telecommunication operators and service providers from offering IP conferencing services. It prevents the use of data networks as a conferencing medium. Firewalls are deployed by subscribers to protect their network against unauthorized access. However, firewalls control the communication flow between their corporate network and the Internet. The firewall’s goal is to safeguard the corporate environment and prevent unauthorized access on the local network. This restriction usually rejects video, voice and IM conferencing traffic.

NAT technology is used to overcome this restriction by sharing one IP address to hide the internal network structure. When using NAT, all PCs on the network appear as one but this renders it impossible to route traffic from an external location on the Internet to a desired location on the corporate network for conferencing sessions.
