FWIW - we had an excellent experience today in the LMAP session with Juergen
Schoenwaelder presenting remotely and interacting in real time with the
attendees in the meeting room in Yokohama. Meetecho worked perfectly.

One thought:
In several countries, 4G mobile phones (including in "tethered hotspot"
mode) give adequate bandwidth for a WebRTC call.
If the corporate firewall can't be bothered to behave decently, the answer
may be to .... pick up the phone.

I agree: especially when the issue is a firewall outside of the
presenter's control, the presenter should be told to move somewhere
else.
Further: could the echo test produce a log of ports
attempted/succeeded/failed, and errors (ICMPs/etc) received?
It would be nice if we could make it easier to report the issue to
"IT", as presumably people are doing this kind of thing with the
blessing of their employer, and so they should get supported.
It also seems that the decision to present remotely, and not to travel
is usually made 2-3 months in advance, and so really there is no
excuse to not having things working in that amount of time.
(Of course, there are exceptions where people are unable to travel due
to last minute issues)
