@Alex: thanks for reply
In this IPv4 world, most devices are in NAT, and it only matters if they
are symmetric NAT or not.
So if 1 client is behind symmetric NAT, I want to use rtpproxy,
otherwise, I do not.
According to what I read from kamailio cfg, Kamailio only knows if
client is NATed or not, it doesnot know the NAT type
That's correct.
The only way you can infer whether a client is symmetric is through its
insertion of the 'rport' parameter into the Via header. However,
symmetric clients are not required to insert it; it is only so that a
client can request symmetric behaviour from a server. AS RFC 3581 says:
A client, compliant to this specification (clients include UACs and
proxies), MAY include an "rport" parameter in the top Via header
field value of requests it generates.
Certainly, there's nothing saying it must do so.
However, almost all UAs out there are symmetric these days. It's got to
be over 95%+. Have you run into one that isn't?
