I am experimenting with masquerading on a Linux box that is 
connected to the internet via a T1. "Behind" the masquerading box 
is a dial-up server. When I have a ppp connection behind the masq 
box, real audio does not work properly over that connection. Large 
chunks of the program will disappear. For instance, it will be 
playing along, then suddenly skip 30 to 40 seconds forward in the 
program. If the dial-ups are not behind the masquerading box, then 
real audio works fine.

I am wondering if the real audio module was not designed to work 
this way--with the faster connection on the "public" or non-
masqued side. It almost seems that the ip_masq_raudio module is 
downloading from the server on the internet faster than it can deliver 
to its dial-up "client"; thus losing data. Is this possible? I guess 
most masq setups have more bandwidth (i.e. ethernet) behind the 
masq, and less (i.e. dial-up or isdn) on the public side.

It seems that other ethernet machines behind the masq box do fine 
with real audio. Perhaps as long as the bandwidth behind the masq 
is >= bandwidth on the public side, everything is okay; but if the 
bandwidth behind the masq is less than on the public side, data is 
lost?

Is there anything I can do to help the situation? Anyone else 
noticed similar behavior?

Doug
