Torque Network Library

Is this additional network code that does not come with the Torque SDK?

I noticed that it claims the ability to host through NAT based Routers/Firewalls, is there a list of routers that have been tested?

Thanks

Most of TNL is already included in Torque. However, the firewall "drilling" is not in Torque. I am not technical, but the method TNL uses to get through firewalls does not need tested with a lot of routers.

TNL is a much cleaner version of what's already in TGE.

TNL's tunneling stuff is pretty slick, and very generic. Only the most anal firewalls block it (ie, those blocking all UDP traffic). If you're curious, the full source code to TNL is available from www.opentnl.org - it's documented, so you may as well as just look at it. :)
