[Asterisk-video] video prompts via Asterisk

[Ramtin Amin]

Stun packets are regognized as being RTP v0 so if the two first bits are 00xxxxxx then it's STUN/ICE... if you have 10xxxxxx it's RTP v2... so quiet easy to discard

The equivalent in video doesn't really exist.  So, STUN packets are great if you can use them, otherwise I've seen some implementations send a bogus RTP packet using an unused payload type to keep the pinhole open. Duane

What it really is, is something for others to discuss. With newerdevicesyou could send STUN requests on the RTP port - you certainly have tobe ready to receive them (the new SIP outbound draft)./O_______________________________________________--Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com --asterisk-video mailing listTo UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit:    http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-video
