[asterisk-users] nat=yes

[bilal ghayyad]

Dear Benjamin;

So in that case, when we set nat = yes? For what we do
this?

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.
