bindings across network address translators.
(a) Currently Asterisk only supports static configuration of the external IP address of a NAT.
You need to discover it manually by other means and configure SIP channel.
This method fails for certain types of NATs that don't preserve port mapping from inside to outside across the
NAT. i.e. if you are originating a request from ipaddress:5060, the NAT may map it to anotheraddress:15345
and this mapping may not be predictable, therefore asterisk cannot send proper SIP headers and will fail.
(b) Some ISP providers who use dynamic IPs will force your NAT router to refresh its IP address periodically
and assign you a different one, at which time it would be nice to automatically recognize that without having to
shut down your Asterisk and restarting.

Hi
Can anyone give suggestion why we need STUN while using asterisk behind the NAT.
