[Serusers] nathelper and rtpproxy problem

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi!

I have tried ser + nathelper + rtpproxy:
Following configuration:

Clients inside NAT: IP 192.168.0.x
Windows Messenger

NAT-Box: old mandrake linux (2.2 kernel) + ser (cvs from 7.7.03) + rtpproxy
(08-Jul-2003).
local interface: 192.168.0.1
global interface: mydomain.dyndns.org

ser and the rtpproxy are running. The clients register at ser
(sip:klaus at mydomain.dyndns.org).

1. I can receive incoming calls (signaling and rtp works fine). But in the
outgoing messages, ser adds a via header with the local IP address
(192.168.0.1) instead of the global IP address.
How can I configure this in ser.cfg?

2. The rtpproxy starts relaying after RTP packets from both sides are
received. That causes problems if the clients use silence suppression (like
Messenger):
I call my friend (I am quiet, so no RTP packets will be sent).... the friend
answers: "Hello!" ... both the rtpproxy doesn't relay, so I don't answer
.... my friend again "HELLO" ... the rtpproxy still doesn'relay, so I don't
answer..... and so on.

So, I suggest the rtpproxy should start relaying immediately.


regards,
Klaus
