9、hind network address translator (NAT)/Firewall (FW) devices. This extension is used in conjunction with Recommendation ITU-T H.460.18 to facilitate the traversal of media across NAT/FW devices and Recommendation ITU-T H.460.23 to discover the characteristics of NAT/FW devices sitting in front of ITU

10、-T H.323 endpoints, reducing the frequency with which media proxy devices (as described in Recommendation ITU-T H.460.19) are needed by allowing direct media connectivity between the endpoints. Connectivity is achieved via the formulation of an intelligent media transmission decision and call signal

11、ling that instructs endpoints to initiate media flows in such a manner that a reliable direct media pathway is established, even if one or both endpoints reside behind a NAT/FW device.

12、9) 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-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for s

13、tudying 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 years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study g

14、roups 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 necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis wit

15、h 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. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provi

16、sions (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 equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of su

17、ch 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 a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no positi

18、on concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protect

24、rewalls within ITU-T H.323 systems 1 Scope This Recommendation defines the capability and procedures for enabling the direct point-to-point media flow between endpoints even if at least one device is behind a network address translator (NAT) or firewall (FW) device. If used in conjunction with ITU-T

25、 H.460.23, this feature can be used to extend the scalability of ITU-T H.460.19 to allow media, where determined, to flow directly between endpoints and avoid the requirement to proxy media. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through refer

37、e bidirectional passage of packets between those addresses. 3.2.3 STUN Server: Server to assist in network address translator type detection. 3.2.4 well-behaved NAT: A network address translator (NAT) that exhibits consistent behaviour over time of a given NAT type as categorized in clause 5 of IETF

41、description This Recommendation defines a procedure wherein gatekeepers may negotiate between each other to determine a method to traverse media between endpoints where at least one of these endpoints is located behind a NAT/FW device, without requiring the use of an ITU-T H.460.19 server to proxy m

42、edia. 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 continue to utilize ITU-T H.460.18 and ITU-T H.460.19 to ensure proper end-to-end media flows. 6 Capability advertis

43、ement Endpoints capable of supporting P2Pnat media shall advertise this capability via the generic extensibility framework (GEF) defined in ITU-T H.323 and ITU-T H.460.1. This feature shall be used in conjunction with ITU-T H.460.23 NAT/FW determination and ITU-T H.460.18 (or optionally ITU-T H.460.

44、17) as an alternative to ITU-T H.460.19. Endpoints seeking to support this feature shall also support ITU-T H.460.23 and ITU-T H.460.18/ITU-T H.460.19 or optionally ITU-T H.460.17/ITU-T H.460.19. If ITU-T H.460.18 or optionally ITU-T H.460.17 and ITU-T H.460.23 features are unsupported or unavailabl

45、e then this feature shall be disabled and shall not advertised. Endpoints shall advertise the P2Pnat media feature when sending an ARQ to a gatekeeper. The feature indicator shall be included in the supportedFeatures field of the featureSet field and, if or when instructed by the gatekeeper via the

46、replying ACF message, the feature indicator shall also be to include as a supportedFeatures field in the Setup message when placing calls to remote endpoints. The gatekeeper shall also advertise this capability to other gatekeepers via the generic data field contained in the LRQ and responding LCF m

47、essages. NOTE The advertisement and use of ITU-T H.460.19 shall be determined by the media strategy of this feature (refer to clause 9). Table 1 defines the P2Pnat media feature in this Recommendation. 4 Rec. ITU-T H.460.24 (12/2009) Table 1 Indication of P2Pnat media feature Feature name: P2Pnat me

Feature identifier type: Standard Feature identifier value: 24 Parameters associated with the advertisement of

49、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 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.
