The Ekiga wiki is broken. It runs me in circles when I try to register, so I
can't add to the discussion. (Don't bother to fix it for me. I don't really
want to start contributing to the wiki anyway.) But since I can't add a
comment, I'll post it here.
The article says, "For that, before registering, A and B must discover their
public IP
addresses (corresponding to NATA and NATB respectively) and send it to
ekiga.net, so that they can be contacted afterwards (*TODO why ekiga.net cannot
simply use ip/port from ip packet header?*)".
Indeed, this requires explanation. This is surely the job of the SIP server.
I certainly do not need a separate STUN server to use a Web browser. The Web
site has no trouble determining my external IP address.
