By port closed, I mean that ports are normally closed, but when rtpengine send the first rtp packets to the client, it opens a pinhole in the firewall, and the matching incoming packets from the client will make the connection established,related in iptables. I think symmetric nat permits that.
Yes, but rtpengine doesn't send any RTP or RTCP by itself. It only forwards RTP and RTCP, and in order to forward it, it first must receive it. If all ports are closed then nothing can ever be received and nothing can ever be forwarded or sent.
