Abstract
An example method of facilitating communication between a mobile device positioned within an internal network and a target peer includes intercepting, at a proxy executing on a mobile device, a communication to initiate a real-time communication connection with a target peer. The mobile device is coupled to a cellular network, and the internal network is separated from one or more external networks by network address translation (NAT). The example method also includes determining whether the target peer is reachable via the cellular network. The example method further includes when it is determined that the target peer is reachable via the cellular network, sending over the cellular network to the target peer a request to communicate in a first protocol.
