[sr-dev] Does iptrtpproxy still work? Should there be consideration into marking it obsolete in Kamailio 4.1.0

[Peter Dunkley]

Hello,

mediaproxy is from AG Projects.  mediaproxy-ng is from SIPWise.

mediaproxy-ng is controlled by the Kamailio rtpproxy-ng modules (confusing
naming I know).

As well as supporting in-kernel forwarding mediaproxy-ng also supports
SAVPF <-> AVPF, SAVPF <-> SAVP, SAVPF <-> AVP, and so on conversions
(useful for WebRTC interoperation).

Regards,

Peter
