SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNCATION SESSION

摘要

The present invention describes a system and method of establishing a peer-to-peer communication session between first communication device and second communication devices. Routing information of the first communication device is provided to the second communication device via a server coupled to a wide area network, and routing information of the second communication device is provided to the first communication device via the server. The first communication device communicates with the server to maintain updated first communication device routing information and port availability. Authentication information of second communication device is provided to the first communication device via the wide area network and the open port of the first communication device in order to authorize the initialization of a peer-to-peer communication session between the first communication device and the second communication device.
