M5T Releases the M5T TR-111 Part 2 Server Application

The M5T TR-111 Part 2 Server Application meets the requirements of the TR-111 technical specifications by applying TR-069 to Remote Management of Home Networking Devices

Sherbrooke, Quebec (PRWEB) May 9, 2007 -- M5T (www.m5t.com), the leading provider of software solutions for secure real-time multimedia communications over IP, announced today the release of the M5T TR-111 Part 2 Server Application, a powerful new solution for remote management of customer premise equipment (CPE) devices behind a NAT.

M5T's goal with solutions such as the TR-111 Part 2 Server Application is to help our telecom clients provide the latest and best new services to their customers

With M5T's experience in the STUN Protocol architecture, NAT-FW traversal mechanisms and IP technology deployment, we extend our core expertise to help developer's cut time to market with innovative new products.

The CPE WAN management protocol defined in TR-069 (by the DSL Forum) is used to remotely manage CPEs that are connected via a LAN through a gateway. When an auto-configuration server (ACS) manages a CPE connected via a NAT gateway, the TR-069 is not a viable solution and must be deployed in combination with a TR-111 compliant STUN server.

The M5T TR-111 server works as both an HTTP server and a STUN server. All CPEs will send STUN Binding Requests to the TR-111 server at a specific pace to serve as a keep alive for the NAT binding. The ACS will then send an HTTP get request to the M5T TR-111 part 2 server over HTTP containing a Connection Request whenever it needs to establish a connection with a CPE. The M5T TR-111 part 2 server will then send the Connection Request on its STUN processing UDP socket to the specific CPE. Upon reception of the Connection Request, the CPE will initiate a connection to the ACS. Using this mechanism, the ACS will effectively be able to contact the CPE via the M5T TR-111 part 2 server.

Any CPE that wants to receive connection requests must maintain a STUN binding with the TR-111 server. This is done by having the CPE send STUN binding requests to the TR-111 server that are processed and responded to. The CPE must do this to maintain an entry point through the NAT for the TR-111 server to communicate with it. Without the STUN binding, no messages would get to the CPE.

"M5T's goal with solutions such as the TR-111 Part 2 Server Application is to help our telecom clients provide the latest and best new services to their customers," said Samuel Guénette, General Manager of M5T. "With M5T's experience in the STUN Protocol architecture, NAT-FW traversal mechanisms and IP technology deployment, we extend our core expertise to help developer's cut time to market with innovative new products."
