A mixture of both is the answer. Proxies would be OK for the internet but not so ok for private networking, so customer education is required regardless.
But what about our end to end principle that was so thoroughly defended during the IPv6/NAT/oh-noes-the-internets-be-breaking thread earlier this year? :) For satellite networks, yep, ALGs are the answer. They're built into many satellite modems, including those that IPstar use. For anything else there's no point in introducing yet another piece of serious complexity into the network. As you say, user education is the way to go. SCP runs like a dog over satellite links. I'd be interested to know if the TCP acceleration built into the IPstar terminals has any effect on SCP (the stock version with inbuilt windowing). Anyone with an IPstar connection able to shed some light? Cheers, Jonny.
