asterisk users - Sep 2007 - nat=yes

Hi List;

If I set nat=yes, then asterisk will send the packets
to the public IP address or to the private IP address
(which will be for the endpoint that is behind the
nating)?

And by setting the nat=yes, then what exactly will be
ignored at asterisk side when reading the
registeration messages from the endpoint?

Any help.

Regards
Bilal

If you set yes then asterisk assumes that the address its coming from
is not the same as the UA thinks it is. most devices will not operate
properly if set to yes when they are in fact local.

BTW, AFAIK, there is no such thing as host=static it's either dynamic
or an IP/Name.

Dear Benjamin;

So in that case, when we set nat = yes? For what we do
this?

C F, I have nat=yes set by default for all my
extensions(with 
canreinvite=no). And things work fine.

Bilal, about Asterisk sending packets to
public/private :
Asterisk will send packets to the public IP advertised
by the msg/recv 
from address. It is the NAT's headache on the
endpoints network 
periphery to send the response from Asterisk to the
endpoint.
