Abstract
To provide a secure traversal service, firewalls need more than static packet filtering and application-level proxies. SOCKS (Secure sOCKets) is an application-independent transport-level proxy that offers user-level authentification and data encryption. An extended SOCKS UDP (user datagram protocol) binding model with appropriate socket calls is proposed to provide complete support for UDP-based multimedia streaming applications
