[asterisk-users] nat=yes

[Benjamin Jacob]

C F, I have nat=yes set by default for all my extensions(with 
canreinvite=no). And things work fine.

Bilal, about Asterisk sending packets to public/private :
Asterisk will send packets to the public IP advertised by the msg/recv 
from address. It is the NAT's headache on the endpoints network 
periphery to send the response from Asterisk to the endpoint.
