ITU-T H.460.23 (2009)/Amd.1 (05/2011) i Recommendation ITU-T H.460.23 Network address translator and firewall device determination in ITU-T H.323 systems Amendment 1 Support for ITU-T H.460.24 Annex B Summary Recommendation ITU-T H.460.23 enables an ITU-T H.32

9、3 endpoint residing behind a network address translator (NAT) or firewall (FW) device to report NAT/FW characteristics to the gatekeeper. When used with Recommendation ITU-T H.460.24, a gatekeeper may utilize NAT/FW information in order to formulate a decision as to how to enable direct media flow b

10、etween two devices. In most cases, following these procedures will allow the gatekeeper to avoid the need for a media proxy as described in Recommendation ITU-T H.460.19, as media can be successfully transmitted directly between two endpoints residing behind distinct NAT/FW devices. Amendment 1 to R

11、ecommendation ITU-T H.460.23 adds the ability for endpoints to advertise to the gatekeeper support for ITU-T H.460.24 Annex B (included in Recommendation ITU-T H.460.24 Amendment 1).

12、 2011-05-14 16 ii Rec. ITU-T H.460.23 (2009)/Amd.1 (05/2011) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-

13、T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four ye

14、ars, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the nec

15、essary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. Howev

16、er, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative

17、equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of

18、 a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process.

23、 This Recommendation defines the capability and procedures for determining whether an endpoint is located behind a network address translator (NAT) or firewall (FW) and to determine the characteristics of the NAT/firewall device. This feature detects the NAT/firewall characteristics in order to allo

24、w a gatekeeper to determine whether it is possible to stream media directly between two endpoints. If used in conjunction with ITU-T H.460.24, the scalability of ITU-T H.460.18/ITU-T H.460.19 may be extended to allow media to flow directly between ITU-T H.323 endpoints, thus avoiding the necessity t

25、o proxy media through an ITU-T H.460.19 server. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

31、IETF RFC 3489 (2003), STUN Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Through Network Address Translators (NATs). NOTE The IETF published a new RFC that obsoletes IETF RFC 3489, changing the name of the standard and the procedures defined therein. This Recommendation relies on the protocol and

32、 procedures specified in IETF RFC 3489, and the protocol and procedures defined in the new RFC are neither suitable nor compatible. As such, this Recommendation does not reference the new RFC and deliberately makes reference to the original specification, which is now referred to as “classical STUN“

33、. 3 Definitions 3.1 Terms defined elsewhere This Recommendation uses the following term defined elsewhere: 3.1.1 transport address ITU-T H.323: The transport layer address of an addressable ITU-T H.323 entity as defined by the (inter)network protocol suite in use. The transport address of an ITU-T H

34、.323 entity is composed of the network address plus the TSAP identifier of the addressable ITU-T H.323 entity. 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.2.1 P2Pnat media: Indicates that media flows directly (peer-to-peer) between two communicating en

35、dpoints through NAT devices without the assistance of a media proxy. 3.2.2 pinhole: A temporary binding of an internal and an external transport address in the NAT/FW, which allows the bidirectional passage of packets between those addresses. 3.2.3 STUN server: Server to assist in NAT type detection

36、 (as defined in IETF RFC 3489). 3.2.4 well-behaved NAT: A NAT that exhibits consistent behaviour over time of a given NAT type as categorized in clause 5 of IETF RFC 3489. 4 Abbreviations This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations: FW Firewall GCF Gatekeeper Confirmation GRQ Gatekeeper Req

37、uest NAT Network Address Translator RCF Registration Confirm RRQ Registration Request STUN Simple Traversal of User datagram protocol (UDP) through Network address translators 5 Feature description This Recommendation defines a procedure wherein a gatekeeper may detect whether a registering endpoint

38、 is behind a NAT/FW. This Recommendation provides instructions for a gatekeeper to instruct an endpoint to detect if it is behind a NAT/FW and to collect characteristics of the intervening NAT/FW device. These findings are then reported back to the gatekeeper, which can Rec. ITU-T H.460.23 (2009)/Am

39、d.1 (05/2011) 3 then be used as input into ITU-T H.460.24 point-to-point media (P2Pnat media) traversal calculations. This Recommendation is designed for use in networks that employ NAT/FW devices with well-behaved NAT characteristics. Networks that do not employ well-behaved NAT devices should cont

40、inue to utilize ITU-T H.460.18 and ITU-T H.460.19 to ensure proper end-to-end media flows. 6 Capability advertisement Endpoints capable of supporting NAT/FW determination shall advertise this capability via the generic extensibility framework (GEF) defined in ITU-T H.323 and ITU-T H.460.1. This feat

41、ure is to be used in conjunction with ITU-T H.460.18 or optionally ITU-T H.460.17. ITU-T H.323 devices wishing to use this feature shall also support either ITU-T H.460.18 or ITU-T H.460.17, respectively. In supporting the various NAT/FW conditions and configurations covered in ITU-T H.460.18, a cli

42、ent gatekeeper (refer to Figure 3 of ITU-T H.460.18) or a client proxy (refer to Figure 2 of ITU-T H.460.18) residing behind a NAT/FW providing direct NAT traversal support through the NAT/FW shall be considered as an endpoint for the purpose of this Recommendation. An endpoint, which performs gatek

43、eeper, discovery, shall set the supportedFeatures field of its GRQ to include NAT/FW determination as defined in Table 1. If the gatekeeper responds with a GCF, it shall include NAT/FW determination in the supportedFeatures field. Endpoints shall send an RRQ to the gatekeeper, including NAT/FW deter

44、mination in the supportedFeatures field. Endpoints shall omit NAT/FW determination from the supportedFeatures field of lightweight RRQs. Table 1 defines the NAT/FW determination feature in this Recommendation. Table 1 Indication of the NAT/FW determination feature Feature name: NAT/FW determination

45、(dD) Feature description: This feature allows for the gatekeeper to determine the characteristics of the network address translator or firewall behind which an ITU-T H.323 device may reside when it registers to the gatekeeper. Feature identifier type: Standard Feature identifier value: 23 Parameters

46、 associated with the advertisement of this capability are specified in the following clauses. In consideration of backward compatibility with further revisions to this Recommendation, the recipient shall simply ignore any parameters received other than those specified in this Recommendation. For the

47、 purpose of this Recommendation, where an optional parameter of type bool is to be omitted, then it shall automatically be deemed to have a default value of FALSE. 4 Rec. ITU-T H.460.23 (2009)/Amd.1 (05/2011) 7 Remote network address translator support An endpoint supporting this feature shall notif

48、y the gatekeeper via the capability advertisement whether the endpoint supports remote NAT clients (i.e., the endpoint supports Master mode as described in clause 9.6 of ITU-T H.460.24).
