Far-End NAT Traversal
When the SIP client is behind a firewall, Orion-VX1000 may receive private IP addresses in the
received SDP (for sending the session’s RTP packets) as shown below in Figure
9-4:

9-4: SIP Client behind a NAT
In this case, the packets cannot be sent, until the first packets are received from the client. The
system learns the actual public IP address of these packets, and sends the transmitted RTP
packets to this address.
Far-end NAT traversal is applied automatically thus no configuration is needed in Orion-VX1000.
Note
: Please note that in order for this topology to work, the SIP and H.323 clients located
behind the local firewall must support Near-End NAT traversal.
Near End NAT Traversal for SIP Clients requires the SIP clients to send their routable (in most
cases Public) IP address in their contact information and r-port parameter.
