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.
Actually, with NAT, you have to use an STUN server to communicate the real address to the other end. Otherwise, it would try to use the NAT address, which wouldn't be reachable. This is just one example of a hack made necessary by NAT.
I'm sorry, no you don't need a STUN server. Perhaps some service providers configure their systems so to make it necessary, but mine certainly doesn't! In fact they insist that a STUN is NOT to be configured. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
