[OpenSIPS-Users] Rtpproxy and IPV4 IPV6 interworking

[Răzvan Crainea]

Hi, Robert!

Yes, the I and E parameters are mandatory, and they should describe how 
the RTP will flow. For example if the flow is from IPv4 to IPv6, you 
should use EI; if the flow is from IPv4 to IPv6, then you should use IE. 
And so on, depending on the call flow.

Regarding the address parameter, that is used when you want to overwrite 
the address indicated by RTPProxy. This is used mainly for setups where 
RTPProxy is behind NAT and the address inidcated is the private one. You 
should swap this IP with the public advertised one.
