Re: [asterisk-users] Sip and the media path
Hi David, Direct media should work either way. if your phones are behind NAT you will also require the NAT option enabled in asterisk, How ever the tricky part in all this is that you wont be able to acurately keep track of calls on these phones. If or any unforeseen reason the phone goes offline or you dont recieve BYE signal, asterisk wont be able to know that the call has ended. So if call information is critical for you then byepassmedia is not recomended for you.

Re: [asterisk-users] Sip and the media path
You will want to look at the directmedia option. You will want all the phones on the same lan as the Asterisk server to be directmedia=yes and the ones on the wan to be directmedia=no. Then, internal calls will send the media between themselves without involving Asterisk, but ones outside on the wan will be forced to talk directly to the Asterisk server for everything. You might also want to look at the nonat option of directmedia.

Re: [asterisk-users] Sip and the media path
David, you obviously have to test for your situation, but the short answer is that it should. The connection will start with running through Asterisk, but very quickly the phones will see that they can talk directly and take the Asterisk server out of the media path. There are a couple of gotchas that can happen based on your dial options, so check out this page: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+sip+canreinvite canreinvite was renamed to directmedia in Asterisk 1.6.2, but the page is still pretty good with regards to the options that are available.
