I'm wondering if anyone can recommend one over the other. I'm mostly interested in running open source solutions, so I would prefer if your recommendations are within the open source arena. Basically, I contemplated the idea of using SER as a NAT Helper and possibly as a SIP server for a portion of our user base. We prefer to have Asterisk in the mix because of the additional wealth of features it can add to the SIP services (e.g. voicemail, ivr, call queueing, etc). All of our clients are behind NATs, mainly basic NATs such as linksys routers behind DSL modems. I read on the wiki that STUN is not readily supported by most clients, so I don't know if its worth the effort or if we should just concentrate on getting SER working with Asterisk. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Waldo
If you have a linux box, then u can try sip-nat-helper for netfilter. Cheers. Mensaje citado por: Waldo Rubinstein <waldo@trianet.net>:> I\'m wondering if anyone can recommend one over the other.

I think STUN is quite widely supported by hardphones. I'd be interested to know if STUN is a magic fix to SIP & NAT - I've a feeling that its not.
