Abstract

See full text

An approach provides interdomain traversal to support packetized voice transmissions. A request is received from a first endpoint of a first domain for establishing a communication session with a second endpoint of a second domain. Encrypted user credential information is retrieved from a credentials database resident within the first domain, wherein the encrypted user credential includes a password associated with a user associated with the first endpoint. Further, the encrypted user credential information is transmitted to a tunneling server in response to the request, wherein the tunneling server is configured to selectively setup a tunnel to support the communication session based on the encrypted user credential information. The tunnel traverses a first firewall and a first network address translator of the first domain and a second firewall and a second network address translator of the second domain to reach the second endpoint.
