Systems and methods are disclosed for transporting multiport protocol
traffic using a single-port protocol. Multiport protocol traffic from a
first endpoint is converted into a single-port protocol for transport
across a network. The traffic is sent over a commonly-open port and
received at a second endpoint before being dispersed to the appropriate
ports of the second endpoint. By converting the traffic to a single-port
protocol and choosing which commonly open port to communicate the traffic
through, firewalls between each endpoint may be traversed without
changing any of their settings.
