NAT (Network Address Translation) Traversal

NAT Traversal is a set of techniques enabling participants behind firewalls to connect to conferences,

hosted on the Collaboration Server, remotely using the internet.

All signaling and media for both SIP and H.323 will be routed through an SBC. The following SBC

environments are supported:

● SAM - a Polycom SBC

● Acme Packet - a 3rd party SBC

● VBP - Polycom Video Border Proxy
