[Freeswitch-users] How to get the network address of registered Endpoint (NAT Problem)

Hello Francis,

thank you for your time and your fast answer. Actually the communication 
with natted devices is possible in the current setup. Its just a 
shortcoming of that type of phone.

To clarify: Im looking for a way to possibly work around those 
shortcomings server side. I could find a way to do just that by using 
the the IP of the natting device in my bridge command. Now I want to 
create an automatic workaround for those edge cases. What I need is a 
way to get the information from which IP the device is registered (as 
you can see when calling the API command sofia status profile <profile> 
reg).

Thanks again
Mitja
