[SR-Users] Cannot hear voice with symmetric NAT and STUN

27 Feb 2013

Hi, I have Kamailio as SIP server and RTP server. Client is PJSIP.

I read that STUN is for non-symmetric NAT, and RTP server is for symmetric
NAT.

Supposed A calls B.

If A, B both use symmetric NAT and STUN, they cannot hear each other
If A or B use non-symmetric NAT and NOT using STUN, they cannot hear each
other.

Why is that?

I read http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-takeda-symmetric-nat-traversal-00.txt
 for Prediction Failure, is that related to this problem ?
