With IPv6 you need neither. In fact, you could address someone's phone by something like "phone://IP-Addres" instead of or "protocol://who@server_provider", where the directory server does a directory search to translate your given name to the IP where you can be found.
That's nice, I'm sure, but my set-up behave just like the analogue POTS I had before. (i.e. you dial a 7 or 10 digit number if you're in north America, add a "1" international prefix if you're not)
Yes, I also have that service. Except that it is done at a box closer to the fibre, before it gets to the router (the ONT). No user configurable at all, and not documented.
To get "softphone" we have to reverse engineer it to get the configuration data. And yes, it does not need STUN. But it works on a 10.*.*.* network that bypasses the NAT, that's why.
I can't see why that makes a difference but I'm not a VoIP expert.
In Carlos' exmaple, the phone and the SIP server both are on the same network, 10.0.0.0. STUN or keep-alive is needed when the phone is on a NAT'ed network (192.168.0.0) behind a router on the public internet.
I can only say that my tablet softphone uses the same settings as my behind-the NAT ATA.
Right - they probably both have STUN or keep-alive enabled. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
