With IPv6 and it's incredible number of public unicast addresses, NAT & STUN are not needed.
Oh yes they are needed. You think firewalls are going away just because we have lots of address space? STUN is only PART (a very small part) of the process. Stun just gets addresses of the end firewall of the end points. Thats all it does. It is not a transport. Once you have those addresses your application has to use ICE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_Connectivity_Establishment to see if you can traverse directly. With NAT on both ends, you still can not make this work. So in those cases you have to use TURN servers. Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) places a third party server to relay messages between two clients where peer to peer media traffic is not allowed by a firewall. Turns out there is less magic to this WEBrtc than everyone thinks. Everyone in the SIP/VOIP community is laughing. They've had this worked out for years. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
