When you connect a single PC running Skype to the Internet, it may become a Skype supernode, thus consuming a lot of bandwidth. When the PC is hidden behind a corporate firewall and NAT and the Skype client is able to utilize only an HTTP protocol, is the Skype client able to become a supernode? If not, does its bandwidth consumption decrease when it is idle?
For general information, there's now uk.telecom.voip which will usually be a better group than uk.telecom for such questions. It was set up a few months ago, and last time I checked headers, had at least 1500 posts. Follow-ups set to exclude uk.telecom.
Google for cucs-039-04.pdf that may say somewhere.
