Hi Tom,
So there could be a configuration option to do automatic detection of faked (public) NATed Endpoints, do NO automatic detection (the situation now) and add/remove a private address range to/from the standard private address base.
I agree with you that this is technically sound, and it would greatly improve operation with many of the brain-damaged NATs out there. The big question is who will do the work ;)
Of course, it won't solve all the problems. I have a user who has to reboot his SMC router every few days, because its defective H.323 handling includes a memory leak.
I think we are seeing some of the reasons why most ITSPs that deal with consumers and small business are using SIP. Of course, that's no prize, either; it's just somewhat less awful.
Regards,
Stewart
