[Asterisk-Users] Bandwdith usage

[Me]

I also wanted to add to this:

If you have users behind NATs then the canreinvite=yes will essentially make 
the phone ring but when it's picked up the call will break up and the two 
parties can't talk. Just went through this in my setup, the only way to get 
the two sides to talk was to set canreinvite=no.

This may be because I had both the calling and called sip devices behind a 
NAT on each end of the call. It may work if only one end is behind a NAT???
