hello,
after googling for some information about nathelper it seems that
nathelper should be able to traverse any type of NAT (even symmetric
ones) as long as both user agents support symmetric RTP.
is this right?
Usually you also need RTP proxy to relay media.
are there any situations where just using nathelper
may not be
sufficient? (such as transfers between an internal phone to an external
phone or transfers between two internal phones).a
In many situations relaying of RTP is also needed, especially if the
phone is behind "symmetric" NATs. Traversing NATs with RTP relay can
be done provided that one side of the call is in the public internet
and supports symmetric RTP extensions (such as PSTN gateways, for
example).
