Thanks Mike for the feedback. If a user has a problem using my FS server,
I'll check what client they have.

For those interested, here's what RFC 3581 adds to SIP: Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) operates over UDP and TCP, among others.  When used with UDP,
responses to requests are returned to the source address the request came
from, and to the port written into the topmost Via header field value of the
request.  This behavior is not desirable in many cases, most notably, when
the client is behind a Network Address Translator (NAT).  This extension
defines a new parameter for the Via header field, called rport, that
allows a client to request that the server send the response back to the
source IP address and port from which the request originated.

[Freeswitch-users] IAX? Issues connecting road warriors with SIP?

2009-12-03 Thread Fred-145

Hello

In a thread back in March, I read that support for IAX in FreeSwitch is a
bit of kludge and since there's not much demand for it, chances are it won't
improve in the foreseeable future.

So I'd like some feedback from users who routinely connect to a FreeSwitch
server from various venues, ie. wifi hotspots at McD, Ethernet LAN in
hotels, etc. (in my case, the FreeSwitch server is located in a private
network behind a NAT router with SIP/RTP ports statically mapped.)

Do you sometimes/often get issues where SIP (UDP5060) or RTP (UDPwhatever)
ports fail being opened dynamically to work properly, or does SIP today
really work well over NAT firewalls?

Thank you.

with the right clients, it nearly always works well.  with a client that does 
not support stun or at least rfc 3581 the results are much more sketchy and 
require more hacks on the server side, but with enough effort can almost always 
be made to work.

Yes I get issues quite a bit with the server being behind a firewall.
IAX is much nicer in this circumstance.

I just set up an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel and nat goes away.

I have native IPv6 over ADSL now, as part of a trial that my ISP is
conducting. As a result, one end of the conection doesn't go through a tunnel
provider anymore.

Given the problems I've had (and still have) with nat, I want to be rid of it
as much as possible.

Nevertheless, I agree that in a nat scenario, IAX can be easier to configure
correctly.
