[Asterisk-Users] SER vs STUND with Asterisk..

[WipeOut]

One for the gurus..

I have seen there has been a lot of discussion about using SER with 
Asterisk.. This to me seemed like an over kill becasue it would 
basically be doing most of what Asterisk is doing anyway unless you 
create some weird and wonderful config in SER..

Anyway, I decided to go and have a quick read through the SER docs and 
in the section about NAT they say that the best way to address NAT is to 
use STUN or uPNP..

So my question is would it not be better to couple STUND (Vovida.org) 
with Asterisk and then use nat=yes in the sip.conf for UA's that do not 
support STUN, instead of using SER which would be like learning Asterisk 
all over again and would require you to learn how to use the SER config 
language to manage your NAT transtaltions..

To me the idea of using STUND just seems far simpler that using SER and 
they can probably quite easily run side bt side on the same server..

Maybe I am missing something and someone can explain to me what it is? :)

Later..
