asterisk users - Sep 2013 - Somewhat-OT: Stupid NAT tricks to learn from Apple?

I've been spending some time looking at some of the significant
changes Apple has made to Facetime in iOS 7.  I'm far from an Apple
fanboy but some of them are pretty interesting:

- multiplexing everything over a single UDP port
- deflate compression with SIP
- various /slight/ protocol violations ;)

More here:

As SDP bodies swell more and more can we hope to build significant
support for multiplexing and deflate compression in the SIP-focused
open source ecosystem?

Thanks for sharing your analysis. Interesting read. Makes me wonder why 
not more vendors/projects are doing port multiplexing. Let's hope it 
will pick up steam now that Apple has implemented it.
