[Serusers] NAT considerations...

[Giovanni Balasso]

Just some thoughts based on my experience...
After months trying to make everything work using rtpproxy-mediaproxy with 
almost everything accomplished but video, I tried to switch to stun solution. 
All my problems are gone now, I have audio, video, presence and instant 
messages working like a charm. And most important media server doesn't flow 
thru my server so network load remains very low. I have been testing for some 
days now and I'm quite happy since I still have to stumble on major problems.
Now some considerations... On a poll onsip.org STUN usage is very low and 
rtpproxy-mediaproxy rule as NAT trasversal solution. Why don't people use 
stun? Has it some major drawbacks I still haven't found? What are main 
advantages of rtpproxy-mediaproxy solutions?
I'm really curious to know serusers opinions about this issue.

thank you all for your two cents ;)
