One of the biggest problems faced with VoIP calls is firewall as data packets cannot pass through firewalls and make a connection between people making use of different firewall products. In order to take care of this problem, Eyeball Networks has come up with Any-Firewall Server which ensures seamless movement of VoIP calls through Network Address Translation devices, web proxies and firewalls. This is a very good product for VoIP service providers as calls would be completed across different web proxies and firewalls.

It is based on carrier accepted technology and has been made to address the NAT/firewall traversal needs of service provider networks and leverage existing SIP infrastructure.

Chris Piche, CEO, Eyeball Networks said:

By combining IETF standards and drafts, including STUN, TURN and ICE, with Eyeball's patented Any-Firewall(TM) Technology, it provides a seamless, secure, and scalable call completion solution for VoIP calls through firewalls, NATs and web proxies.

It has been made to be a major component in next generation communication services based on IMS and it interoperates with SIP Proxies and soft switches. Also the server utilizes modular and cluster-able design in order to support carrier grade VoIP services. A combination of Eyeball Any-Firewall Server along with Eyeball Messenger SDK ensures that most of the calls are completed using peer to peer media transport between end points.

The numerous benefits of the Any-Firewall Server are:

Highest Peer-to-Peer Call CompletionTURN server

Eyeball Any-Firewall™ Server completes most calls using peer-to-peer media delivery with occasional fall-back to using a relay server.

Scalable Deployment

Typically peer-to-peer media transfer enables service scalability to millions of users with minimal infrastructure and operational costs.

High Performance Design

It uses a modular and scalable design for carrier-class deployments. Using C++ for implementation provides high performance.

Web-based Administration and Statistics

Web-based tools are available for server administration such as monitoring service load, usage statistics, and management of account settings and privileges.
