Abstract

In this paper we describe and discuss the design choices of Apple Inc.'s Back to My Mac (BTMM) service. BTMM provides an integrated solution to host mobility support, NAT traversal, and secure end-to-end data delivery through a combination of several existing protocols and software tools. We discuss BTMM's design tradeoffs and examine its applicability as a general solution to mobility-capable extended home networks.
