Hi Johansson, All
Sincier regards and thanks for input.

As I understand,  all media packets pass through RTP Proxy.  The RTP Proxy
will receive simple UDP media packets from endpoints. Next RTP proxy today
pass those RTP packets to destination party.

My job is precisely to support TLS and DTLS path between RTP Proxy and
destination party. In my setup the destination party is a media server.

Do you really see a risk to have this setup. If so, please elaborate.

I underdstand here the challenge setup TLS/DTLS connection with media
server and send/recv media packets with server usuing either TLS or DTLS.

Also you mentioned "There's also solutions for RTP over DTLS" , can you
please share from where I can get the reference solution, it help me to
great extent.

Best Regards
Kamal
