But if you want to make use of things like VoIP you would need a fixed address, non private, because you do want to do things needing being accessible.
That is not the case from the end user's POV. I have a NAT and Vop "router" behind it. Whether I was using a NAT or not the ATA box needs to have the address of the ISP. How the ISP implement things, load balancing or otherwise, is their decision. My setup is going to be the same, NAT or not, IPv4 or IPv6.
You need a special router that is VoIp aware, and/or you need to connect to a STUN server, which helps traverse the NAT router.
This is NOT the case.
I'm not saying that people don't configure it that way, but it isn't how my provider works. I had to quite explicitly turn STUN OFF on my LinkSys ATA to get it to work.
STUN is needed for inbound calls. Many phones have a keep-alive option instead, but it boils down to the same thing. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
