I have used the ser_stun.c/.h files to add STUN support
on the socket of kamalio.
I have modified the XOR-MAPPED-ADDRESS results because
wireshark is not analysing it the same way although I'm
not very sure who is right on this: wireshark versus ser.
I hope you guys can work on merging and testing. Coming
from ser, I guess the code is pretty good!
Let me a question. What is the purpose/advantage of having a STUN
server running in the SIP proxy/registrar port?
AFAIK this is just valid for a single purpose: allowing STUN *just for
SIP signalling* when the device is located behind symmetric NAT (in
which "normal" STUN doesn't work since the public mapping the router
assigns depends also on the destination ip:port, and not just on the
private source ip:port).
This is: having a STUN server running in port 5060 in the same host
where our SIP proxy/registrar runs is just valid for a UA behind
symmetric NAT because it can set the "Contact" header with the mapped
public ip:port, so it will be able to receive in-dialog requests
(without NAT solution at SIP level in the proxy), but it will never be
valid for RTP, since the destination of the RTP will never be
PROXY_IP:5060, so the mapping our symmetric NAT router will do for the
RTP is completely unknown.
So, what is the advantage of a STUN server in port 5060? Thanks.
This specification draft-ietf-sip-outbound-16 ios only about SIP:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sip-outbound-16
So for 100% of UA, STUN is usable for keeping alive and detecting
IP changes on the SIP connection.
Don't you want kamailio to be standard?
For RTP? Even if you put a STUN server on another port, that would
not be of any help at all... because only part of the 100% can use
the STUN discovered address in their RTP and such solution would not
work 100%.
Instead for RTP, ICE and TURN are required. That's just a different
server that has to be installed: NOT THE SAME as the one running on
the SIP server which is ONLY doing STUN binding request.
