Title : Latching: Hosted NAT Traversal (HNT) for Media in Real-Time Communication

Abstract:
This document describes behavior of signalling intermediaries in
Real-Time Communication (RTC) deployments, sometimes referred to as
Session Border Controllers (SBCs), when performing Hosted NAT
Traversal (HNT). HNT is a set of mechanisms, such as media relaying
and latching, that such intermediaries use to enable other RTC
devices behind NATs to communicate with each other.
This document is non-normative, and is only written to explain HNT in
order to provide a reference to the IETF community, as well as an
informative description to manufacturers, and users.
Latching, which is one of the components of the HNT components, has a
number of security issues covered here. Because of those, and unless
all security considerations explained here are taken into account and
solved, the IETF advises against use of latching mechanism over the
Internet and recommends other solutions such as the Interactive
Connectivity Establishment (ICE) protocol.
