hi again.....well i have been trying to know what is the relationship between asterisk and stun. what i mean is, i understand that a client requests stun server to know whether its behind a nat or not. if its not, then its ok. if it is behind nat, then what? Now client knows what kind of nat it is behind, what is the roll of asterisk in it. asterisk already knows client's public ip whether its behind nat or not, if the client is registered. So how does stun simplify things if there are nat problems.
<br><br>After requesting stun server and recieving the required information from stun server.....what happens next?<br>I hope im clear in stating my problem.<br><br>Hope to hear from you soon<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

No... there's no STUN server built into Asterisk. Asterisk handles NAT<br>in a different way... and is an endpoint rather than a proxy, so it<br>doesn't really NEED STUN built into it.<br><br>However, we run a STUN server on the same machine as an Asterisk server
<br>and see nothing in terms of load increase. STUN's footprint is rather<br>negligible.<br><br>N.<br><br>Rizwan Hisham wrote:<br>> Ok thanx. One more thing to ask is: does asterisk has a stun server<br>> implemented in it or not. i mean does asterisk contain a stun server
