Technical Summary
This document describes behavior of signalling intermediaries in
Real-Time Communication (RTC) deployments, sometimes referred to as
Session Border Controllers (SBCs), when performing Hosted NAT
Traversal (HNT). HNT is a set of mechanisms, such as media relaying
and latching, that such intermediaries use to enable other RTC
devices behind NATs to communicate with each other.
Working Group Summary
There is WG consensus behind this draft. All issues raised during and
before WGLC have been addressed. There were concerns regarding the
harmfulness of the documented mechanisms, especially regarding security.
The document was updated to stress that it only documents existing
behavior and does not recommend them as good practices.
Document Quality
The document is well written and readable. It documents existing behavior
that has been already earlier implemented by various vendors.
Personnel
Ari Keranen is the Document Shepherd, and the Responsible Area
Director is Alissa Cooper.
