RE: [midcom] I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-midcom-mib-01.txt

["Medhavi Bhatia" <mbhatia at nextone.com>]

I have not completely gone through the mib yet, but going through the
semantics documents and the requirements, I did not see anything which
points to how the midcom agent can direct the middlebox to use symmetric
ip/port (ie., the address from which the middle box sends traffic towards an
endpoint A is the same as the address where traffic is being received from
A).  None of the signaling protocols (SIP etc) require this, but it would be
interesting to see if there is any option provided for this.
