I tried to find out any standards or documents on Internet related to this. But I did not find any relevant information. Any advice on this is appreciated. What type ofcapabilities to be provided and what type of security is expected?

Ravi,Folks at Trusted Information Systems created an mbone proxy for the FWTK back in 1997. Look for "An MBone Proxy for an Application Gateway Firewall" in the FWTK archives.
YOu can find the reference code -- I think this is the same thing -- athttp://www.fwtk.org/fwtk/download/files/contrib/. The file is mbone-gw.tar.gz
