Hello,
I have SER setup to only use the rtpproxy if the client is behind a
symmetric NAT. This is accomplished by using STUN since STUN will not modify
the contact headers if it detects a symmetric NAT. So SER see's the local
address in the contact header and only forces rtpproxy for those types of
call. When users are behind the same NAT then ser detects this using AVP's
and force_rtpproxy is not used for the call. This only works when STUN is
not enabled. Since when STUN succeeds the orignal local address of the phone
is changed to the public address in the sip message. So when two STUN
enabled clients try to call each other from behind the same nat the call
fails. The call fails because the NAT does not support harpin of media as
most don't. The only way this call would work is if the contacts could be
changed back to use their local addresses pre-STUN. How can SER be
instructed to use the local address for calls behind the same NAT when STUN
is enabled? One way I can think of doing this is to change nathelper to
extract the original IP from the VIA header and rewrite the SDP. In the SIP
trace i see only IP's in contact headers and SDP are changed when STUN
succeeds. Is there a simpler way to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Sumeet
