The QOS sensor doesn't seem to work when the server and the destination are behind two different NATs. The ports get all messed up in translation.

Could you post a schematic of the network? Did you make sure that the ports are forwarded properly?

The post was actually so I could answer my own question. I created add on sensor and reflector to solve the issue. The problem with both sides being behind that NAT, without static outbound translations being configured the port traffic doesn't get back to where it is supposed to. The code is in c# and can be modified. It is an XML EXE Sensor.

The reflector will need to run on a system with the port forwarded to it. I have it running at my office and multiple clients use it to monitor their internet quality.

Oh well :D The question is a bit specific and might be hard to find, you may want to generalize it a bit :)
