The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions

12、and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.

22、mendations Proxy-aided NAT/FW traversal scheme for ITU-T H.323 multimedia systems 1 Scope This supplement describes a proxy-aided NAT/FW traversal mechanism as a NAT traversal solution for ITU-T H.323 multimedia systems. A proxy is a logical functional entity with one or more addresses in one or mor

23、e realms. It provides translation of the IP header as well as the translation of ports and addresses in the message payloads. A proxy is logically located on the edge of different realms, while it can be physically deployed in many different places in the network (private or public). The scheme desc

24、ribed in this supplement addresses end-to-end ITU-T H.323 communications and does not address ITU-T H.323 functionalities above the transport level. The method described in this supplement is complementary to other NAT/FW traversal solutions, such as those described in the ITU-T H.460-series Recomme

25、ndations. The proxy-aided NAT/FW traversal scheme highlights potential issues with deploying those ITU-T H.323 NAT/FW traversal solutions and describes how those solutions are applied in such cases. 2 References ITU-T H.225.0 Recommendation ITU-T H.225.0 (2006), Call signalling protocols and media s

30、finitions 3.1 Terms defined elsewhere This supplement uses the following terms defined elsewhere: 3.1.1 gatekeeper (GK) ITU-T H.323: The gatekeeper (GK) is an ITU-T H.323 entity on the network that provides address translation and controls access to the network for ITU-T H.323 terminals, gateways an

31、d MCUs. The gatekeeper may also provide other services to the terminals, gateways and MCUs such as bandwidth management and locating Gateways. 3.1.2 network address translation (NAT) IETF RFC 2663: Network address translations (NATs) provide the address or port mapping between the public network and

32、 the private network. NAT allows hosts in a private network to transparently communicate with destinations in an external network and vice versa. 3.1.3 static network address translation IETF RFC 2663: It refers to the NATs configured with static address assignment, namely, there is one-to-one addre

33、ss mapping for hosts between a private network address and an external network address for the lifetime of NAT operation. 3.1.4 dynamic network address translation IETF RFC 2663: It refers to the NATs configured with dynamic address assignment, namely, external addresses are assigned to private netw

34、ork hosts or vice versa, dynamically based on usage requirements and session flow determined heuristically by NAT. When the last session using an address binding is terminated, NAT would free the binding so that the global address could be recycled for later use. 3.1.5 realm IETF RFC 2663: An addres

35、s realm is a network domain in which the network addresses are uniquely assigned to entities such that datagrams can be routed to them. Routing protocols used within the network domain are responsible for finding routes to entities given their network addresses. Note that this Supplement is limited

36、to describing NAT in the IPv4 environment and does not address the use of NAT in other types of environment (e.g., IPv6 environments). 3.1.6 zone ITU-T H.323: A zone is the collection of all terminals (Tx), gateways (GW), and multipoint control units (MCUs) managed by a single gatekeeper (GK). A zon

37、e includes at least one terminal, and may or may not include gateways or MCUs. A zone has one and only one gatekeeper. A zone may be independent of network topology and may be comprised of multiple network segments which are connected using routers (R) or other devices. 3.2 Terms defined in this sup

38、plement This supplement defines the following term: 3.2.1 proxy: A proxy is the functional entity which can aid the ITU-T H.323 multimedia applications in traversing the NAT/FW installations. It can identify and then translate all the ITU-T H.323 signalling messages (based on TCP or UDP) by modifyin

39、g the address-related contents in the ITU-T H.323 application-specific payloads and/or in the IP headers to be valid in the address realm, into which the messages are routed. After this, the proxy will forward these messages to their destinations. Besides the signalling messages processing, the prox

40、y can also facilitate the RTP/RTCP media flow among the entities in communication.

43、mple Traversal of UDP over NATs TCP Transmission Control Protocol TE Terminal UDP User Datagram Protocol URQ Unregistration Request 5 Overview Network address translators (NATs) provide a lot of benefits to solving the problems of the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses and have been widely deployed during

44、 the past decade. However, the presence of NATs can hamper many existing IP applications and then create problems for some multimedia services based on some certain protocols, which cannot naturally traverse the NATs 4 H series Supplement 10 (05/2008) devices, and then result in call failures. To so

45、lve such problems, NAT/FW traversal schemes have emerged as required, and been deployed into the networks in recent years. During the implementation of NAT/FW traversal schemes, it was found that some of them may more or less affect the current networks, which include the modification of NATs such a

46、s application level gateway (ALG); modification of clients such as simple traversal of UDP through NATs (STUN, defined in IETF RFC 3489); modification of NATs and servers such as middlebox communications (midcom, defined in IETF RFC 3304); modification of servers such as server involvement in NAT na

47、vigation (SINN); modification of NATs and clients such as realm specific IP (RSIP, IETF RFC 3103). In a nutshell, for the legacy networks, all of the techniques above require upgrades to one or more existing entities, including terminals, and/or servers and/or NATs, which might become a tremendous t

48、ask to accomplish. This supplement offers a new proxy-aided NAT/FW traversal scheme, by simply adding a functional entity into the network to aid the multimedia-related protocols traversing the NAT/FW. In the ITU-T H.323 applications context, the proxy should be able to identify and then translate a

49、ll the signalling messages (based on TCP or UDP) by modifying the address-related contents in the ITU-T H.323 application-specific payloads and/or in the IP headers to be valid in the address realm, into which the messages are routed, and then forward them to the destinations. The signalling referred to includes ITU-T H.225.0 RAS, ITU-T H.225.0 call signalling and ITU-T H.245. Besides the signalling processing, the proxy can also facilitate the RTP/RTCP media flow among the entities in communication. Proxy
