A system and method for exchanging online information over a private network.
A
client with a private Internet protocol (IP) address can exchange a user datagram
protocol (UDP) packet with a server with a public IP address according to a real
time protocol by first sending information about its IP address to the server such
that a router connecting the server to the client maps the sent IP address information
to the client. Therefore, the client and server can perform two-way UDP packet
communications therebetween. This enables a client with a private IP address to
perform two-way voice packet communications with a Voice Over IF (VoIP) provider.
