[OpenSIPS-Users] NAT and media/signaling IPs different

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Jeff,

There are different approaches is scaling due to the fact that 
signalling and media scale differently:
    - you can go for populating your network with SBC (for NAT) and you 
end-up with same IP for both signalling and media
    - you can keep a core signalling system and to populate your network 
with media relays only - and you end up with different sig and media IP.

Regards,
Bogdan
