VoIP would be one good example, trying to get SIP through two layers of<br></div>
NAT would not be a lot of fun.</blockquote><div> <br>Another good example is VPN, and full IDS / Firewall features such as blocking an IP address if they repeatidly do things against your box that you dont like, or door knocking where you connect to one port, and all of a sudden another port opens up (connect to port 1234, then you can ssh to port 22 etc), VoIP as Jethro rightly said.<br>
