Nokia buys Symbian, will open Symbian OS

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:00:00 GMT
Symbian, the company behind the popular proprietary mobile/embedded operating system of the same name, just turned 10, but it won't see its next birthday. Nokia, which had long owned a substantial portion of Symbian, announced today that it would be buying the rest of the company, 52% for about &euro264 million, or approximately $410 million. In addition to purchasing Symbian, Nokia says it will be open-sourcing the Symbian operating system.

NAME
stunc - STUN test client. STUN test client Author: Pekka Pessi <Pekka.Pessi@nokia.com> Martti Mela <Martti.Mela@nokia.com> Kai Vehmanen <Kai.Vehmanen@nokia.com> Date: Created: Thu Jul 24 17:21:00 2003 ppessi Synopsis stunc [OPTIONS] <stun-server-address> Description The stunc utility can be used to gather information about possible NAT devices that are located between the client and STUN server. stunc can provide the following information: the IP address and port as seen by the STUN server, detecting presence of NATs, and hints on the type of address translation done. It should be noted that the results of NAT type and life-time detection should be considered as hints. There is no guarantee that NAT(s) will handle future packets in the same way. Command Line Options The stunc utility accepts following command line options: -b Perform a STUN binding discovery. stunc will report the client transport address (IP:port) as seen by the STUN server. In the presence of NATs, this address is allocated by the NAT closest to the STUN server. -l Perform a STUN binding life-time check. -n Perform a STUN binding type check. Notice that the results are only hints. Nondeterministic behaviour, resource exhaustion, or reboots of network elements can cause changes in NAT behaviour between successive runs of stunc. -r Randomize the local port. Otherwise stunc let's the operating system select a free port. -s Request a shared-secret over TLS. Tests whether the STUN server supports the shared-secret mechanism (needed to protect message integrity). Can be combined with -b, -l and -n. Return Codes 0when successful 1when any errors detected Examples Discover the NAT binding, use a random local port: $ stunc stunserver.org -b -r Environment #STUN_DEBUG Reporting Bugs Report bugs to <sofia-sip-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>.
