nervous when you tell them your going to need a publicly routable IP when implementing the OCS A/V Edge role for external A/V Conferencing.&#160; Then you tell them they'll need to open up 10,000 high ports, and you can see the blood drain from their faces.&#160; :)</p> <p>Well it's not all bad news.&#160; If you understand how the protocols work the risk really isn't that high.</p> <p><a
