When initiating a call, user agents usually include a Session De- scription Protocol (SDP) attachment that describes where they expect media. If the user agent operates on a public Internet address, there is no need to interfere in this process. In this case the SBC will just forward the request.
Operators should encourage customers to use equipment that operates on a public Internet address or properly allocates a globally routable Internet address. Because media relay is an expensive opera- tion, it reduces the overall load on the network and at the same time in- creases the quality of the service.
However, when a user agent is behind NAT, it might not be able to receive media directly. In some cases this is because the user agent is
