PeerTube v4.2 Is Out

Re:PeerTube v4.2 Is Out by sylware on Tuesday June 07, 2022 @10:02AM (#31654443)

Some IAPs are silently sabotaging p2p protocols: for instance, by default, in my country, with my IAP, only a limited range of the TCP/UDP ports is available on a dynamic IPv4 address. The p2p signaling server (tracker), won't be able to guess that the port it allocates for a peer is in this range then working.

More than a bumpy ride.

But I guess it depends heavily on the design of the p2p protocol (presuming UPNP availability).

But my IAP is providing, by default, unlimited full native IPv6.

Hi!

Thanks for sharing your concerns!

PeerTube is not concerned by these effects since we're using Websockets and WebRTC to handle the connection with the tracker and P2P.

Your OS kernel will allocate a port for any tcp/udp connection, and if this port is out of this range defined my the IAP, the connection will fail.
