Hi,
On a side: A good start would also to avoid symmetric NATs. I would love to compile a list of routers which operate symmetric NATs to tell my customers to avoid them.
Yupp, i thought about that too.
I tried a number of residential routers, but
all of them did some sort of coned NAT. Who could name symmetric NATs?
Linux NAT is symmetric and is quite common with small businesses. We use the RTPProxy in these cases.
freeBSD is per default symetric too. There is a small patch though which makes it into a full cone NAT.
We have currently cisco ATA's 186 and the grandstream working with the current CVS release and the NAT support/RTP Proxy.
Great software btw!
regards,
Arnd
