scope:
This Recommendation defines a mechanism for media communication between two ITU-T H.323 entities, separated by one or more NAT/FW devices.
This Recommendation addresses NAT/FW traversal for RTP, for RTP encrypted using ITU-T H.235 and for SRTP media streams.
NAT/FW traversal for media transported by other protocols is for further study.
It also defines a mechanism to use the same transport address for several media channels, which permits reduction of the number of "pinholes" opened in the NAT/FW device and reduces the number of Media Channel and Media Control Channel transport addresses used by ITU-T H.323 entities.
