libprocess-proxy

A server-side proxy for libprocess. Allows libprocess communication with devices that are behind a NAT.

Libprocess is an abstraction and library which supports asynchronous programming. It was created for and is used by Apache Mesos.

The libprocess protocol was fundamentally not designed to be used by processes behind a NAT. The originating process encodes its own IP address in a request header, and therefore a receiving process cannot respond to this IP address if it is a private address.

This proxy is intended to address this problem. It receives libprocess messages and sends them on to a fixed IP address, replacing the IP header with its own header and a unique port. When it receives a response it will forward that response on to the correct public IP address or the originating message.
