The IESG has approved the following document: - 'NAT Traversal Practices for Client-Server SIP' (draft-ietf-sipping-nat-scenarios-15.txt) as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Robert Sparks. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sipping-nat-scenarios/ Technical Summary Traversal of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the sessions it establishes through Network Address Translators (NATs) is a complex problem. Currently there are many deployment scenarios and traversal mechanisms for media traffic. This document aims to provide concrete recommendations and a unified method for NAT traversal as well as documenting corresponding flows. Working Group Summary Much of the development of this document took place in the SIPPING WG where it had strong support. Document Quality This document defines no new protocol elements. Earlier versions of the document were thoroughly reviewed within the SIPPING WG. Francois Audet, Vijay Gurbani, Dan Wing, Ali Keranen and Jerry Yin provided detailed WG reviews of the document. In addition, area/cross-area reviews were done by Remi Denis-Courmant (BEHAVE/TSV area) and Philip Matthews (RAI area). Dan Wing provided a final review ensuring that the technical details align with the more recently published BEHAVE WG documents (e.g., TURN) Personnel Mary Barnes is the WG chair shepherd. Robert Sparks is the responsible Area director.
