[SR-Users] Kamailio as IPv6 to IPv4 Gateway

[Joe Uelk]

Thanks for the information Klaus and Ovidiu!

It seems the 4to6.cfg file referenced is for a different version of
Kamailio. I'm using 3.1.0 and I was unable to get it to run with that .cfg
file.

I installed Kamailio on Fedora 10 as an rpm. It runs successfully with the
default configuration.

Also, it seems NAT is used in the 4to6.cfg file. Does this mean WITH_NAT is
required in the newer version?

I'd be happy to install any version that will work with the examples you
have provided... which do you recommend?

Also, the potential for IPv6 addresses in the Via header of IPv4 clients
that Klaus mentioned could be an issue... is there a way to enable topology
hiding or something similar?

Thanks,
Joe
