Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A wide range of communication protocols has been developed recently to address service diversification. At the same time, firewalls(FWs) are installed at the boundary between internal networks such as those owned by companies and homes, and the Internet. In general, FWs are configured as whitelists, and release only the port corresponding to the service to be used and block communication from other ports. In previous study, we proposed the method for traversing an FW and enabling communication by inserting a pseudo TCP header imitating HTTPS into a packet, which will be blocked by the FW. We confirmed the efficiency of the proposed method via its implementation and experiments in our previous work. Although common capsulating techniques work on end nodes, the previous implementation works on the relay node assuming a router. Furthermore, middleboxes which overwrite L3 and L4 headers in Internet should be taken into account. Thus, we added the feature against a typical middlebox, i.e. NAPT, into the previous work. In this paper, we describe the functional confirmation and the the performance evaluations of the both versions.
