Hi Attila, Firsly thanks for your response; in my current setup, the application using my SIP Stack has the support of STUN client. As per my current info, STUN supports for 3 types of NAT's (i.e. Full Cone, Restricted Address Cone and Port restricted Cone NATs) and it does not support for Symmetric NAT's. But when a n/w device hosting Symmetric NAT functionality (say Router) is deployed, that generally have Virtual Server or DMZ support embedded with it, which hides Symmetric NAT problems and functions as Full Cone NAT. So, STUN can be used. So, does implementing 'rport' will add value to my SIP Stack core? Thanks, T. Keerthi Kumar

But, now i am stuk at finding a Valid use case that 'rport' solves and leads over STUN or other NAT traversal techniques. So, i request you to please suggest me few use cases of 'rport'. Thanks, T.
