[Freeswitch-users] NAT traversal - the final say..!

[Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]]

Hi all,

Thanks for everyones feedback on this, there's a lot of really useful info
and this will make life much easier when writing the docs.

I'm hoping to make a start on this within the next month (mod_xml_curl and
mod_event_socket are first in my list).

Of course, others are more than welcome to contribute as well :)
