Re: [MMUSIC] RTSP through NATs



Magnus,

I will not be able to follow this teleconference,
however here is some input on RTSP & NATs

we have implemented STUN as a way to make RTSP with RTP/UDP transport work through NATS.

It works really fine (with a minor problem for long pauses).

Actually when comparing with ALGs I would rather strongly advocate for STUN,
to the point of discouraging ALG usage (as a cure for NAT)
to make a long story short it scales much better and
does not require *any* control on the NATs (vs install/run ALG).

Hi

In a little more than a week it is time for the next RTSP telecon. All
