[asterisk-users] How to use stun server?

[SIP]

No... there's no STUN server built into Asterisk. Asterisk handles NAT 
in a different way... and is an endpoint rather than a proxy, so it 
doesn't really NEED STUN built into it.

However, we run a STUN server on the same machine as an Asterisk server 
and see nothing in terms of load increase. STUN's footprint is rather 
negligible.
