DESCRIPTION
With the Network Probe application you can measure certain characteristics of the NAT (Network Address Translator) or firewall between your application and a server on the Internet. To understand these characteristics is important for applications relying on having information pushed form a server to a client. You can also study the measurements performed by others to get a broader understanding of these characteristics.
