[SR-Users] rtpproxy bridge "ie" "ei" behind NAT (like in aws EC2)

[Ovidiu Sas]

You could simply let the RTP traffic to flow directly between FS and
endpoints (no need for rtpproxy).
All you need to do is:
 - forward the appropriate RTP ports to FS;
 - fix the private IP in SDP by replacing it with the public IP for
the inbound rtp streams (to FS).
