I don't recall seeing anything anywhere (while compiling, on the Wiki, etc) that would suggest that FreeSWITCH does uPnP (or NAT-PMP for that matter; this question is without regard to NAT Traversal religion) for port mapping. Is this a correct assumption?
It doesn't but with a two libs it could be made to do so. Their are two libs to do both uPNP and PMP with little trouble. http://miniupnp.free.fr/libnatpmp.html That would allow you to create a module to subscribe to events to make them map the ports back to the FreeSWITCH box. So mod_sofia could fire an event saying "Hey, I'm on port 5060" and your mod_nat could listen to those and poke the holes back to FreeSWITCH on those ports. Just an idea :) I have thought about it before. /b
Does anyone know if Asterisk does do uPnP or NAT-PMP to map incoming ports to itself? I haven't touched Asterisk in a couple years so...
This is mostly just my idle curiosity working, triggered by another question asked on the list...
thanks, eric
