This paper describes two systems to recover theInternet connectivity impaired by private networks andfirewalls. These devices cause asymmetry in the Internet,making peer-to-peer computing difficult or evenimpossible. The Condor system is one of those that areseverely impaired by the asymmetry. Compared to normalpeer-to-peer computing applications, Condor has stricterrequirements, which are representative to any gridcomputing. To make Condor seamlessly work acrossprivate networks and over firewalls, we designed andimplemented Dynamic Port Forwarding (DPF) andGeneric Connection Brokering (GCB). Both DPF andGCB satisfy the representative requirements. FurthermoreDPF supports dedicated large clusters very well becauseit is simple, efficient, and highly scalable. On the otherhand, GCB perfectly supports non-dedicated or personalclusters because it is independent to private network orfirewall technologies and does not require anyadministrative power to deploy it. In this paper, wedescribe the implementations of DPF and GCB andanalyze them with respect to performance, deployability,security, and scalability.
