Hi Brett, I'm responding being just a "user", so please don't trust my words too much ;-) Afaik nat_traversal is an approach to move keepalive methods to a single module, and let rtpproxy (currently: nathelper) and media- proxy do what there name says: being just an RTP (media) proxy.
At the times where there was one single OpenSER project there might also have been some personal preference regarding one or the other module - and not everybody seemed to be amused to remove functionality from the nathelper/rtpproxy combo. Personally I consider nat_traversal's keep-alive mechanism far better than the one provided with rtpproxy. I started three threads some day ago, all of them around this topic. My intention was to initiate some discussion / brainstorming - as the status quo is confusing, migration in a good direction has been started a while ago, but now this movement seems to have fallen asleep. Imo we should figure out: - whether there are still keepalive-features in nathelper, that are missing in nat_traversal (so far I found only what I mentioned in my thread "Comparing client_nat_test with nat_uac_test" - if there is some k.o. criteria forbidding us to rename the nathelper module to "rtpproxy" and remove the keepalive functions As told before, I'm not involved in development, just trying to make suggestion from my position as "OpenSIP user" ;-) Cheers, Thomas Brett Nemeroff wrote: > Migration from nathelper?
