But like I said, you seem to have an ALG, so it could be that it maps the traffic differently depending on the traffic type (e.g. full cone for SIP traffic and symmetric for others). Or it can do something else; being an ALG means it's behavior is pretty much undefined. -benny P.S. since we're still on the same subject, could you please reply to existing thread rather than starting anew every post?
