[Spce-user] UA NAT identification

[John Murray]

Andreas hi,

As usual you have been a great help. That has fixed it.

The settings for nathelper are:

> Tries to guess if client's request originated behind a nat. The parameter
determines what heuristics is used.
> Meaning of the flags is as follows:
> 
> 1 - Contact header field is searched for occurrence of RFC1918 addresses.
> 2 - the "received" test is used: address in Via is compared against source
IP address of signaling
> 4 - Top Most VIA is searched for occurrence of RFC1918 addresses
> 8 - SDP is searched for occurrence of RFC1918 addresses
> 16 - test if the source port is different from the port in Via
> 32 - test if the source IP address of signaling is a RFC1918 address
> All flags can be bitwise combined, the test returns true if any of the
tests identified a NAT.

The settings currently are '17' so option 1 and 16.
I added in option 2 making the setting '19' which I think represents NAT
well. 'The Via address is different from the signalling address'.

Rfc1918 addressing is used on consumer devices and many corporate but a
large number of corporates have more complicated addressing as in this case.

Can I be the first to vote for a default setting of '19' in SPCE.

Many thanks

John

Well, yeah, you'd probably need to do some customizations to
/etc/ngcp-config/templates/etc/kamailio/lb/kamailio.cfg.tt2. See
http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/3.3.x/modules_k/nathelper.html#idp122472
for some flags controlling the NAT detection.
