I read that a media proxy put his address at the sdp

talks with the media proxy instead of each other. At the time a NAT

How does a media proxy contact the NATed UA?
Isn't this the same problem the called part will have to contact the
NATed party?
After the first UDP packet received on the mediaproxy socket it knows
where to send the packets to. So both parties have to send at least one
packet to the mediaproxy before the streams can be bridged together.
This is why some protocols like T.38, where one party waits for data
from the other party before replying, don't work with NAT.
