NTP • National Telecommunications Development Program • Established by the National Science Council (NSC) in May, 1998. • Phase I: from 1998 to 2003. • Total budget: 350 million US$ in 5 years. • Program Focuses • Wireless Communication • Broadband Internet • Application Services • Mission • To conduct R&D in advanced telecommunication technologies, for the promotion and development of telecommunication industry.
Siemens • Microsoft • CCL • Cisco 2621GW • CCL PSTN GW • IPTel SER • CCL Call Server NTP VoIP Platform • Pingtel • Snom • Cisco
Academic Researches Support academic researches on NTP VoIP Platform • NTU: SIP Signaling Performance Evaluation on SCTP • NTHU: Secure RTP and Location Privacy on VoIP System • NDHU: Voice over IP study on All IP networks • NCKU: DNS/ENUM Automatic Updating Mechanism • NCTU: NAT Traversal & WGSN Project for Integrated Wireless VoIP Services
Simple Traversal of UDP Through Network Address Translators (STUN)
IPv6 only IPv6 only IPv6 only Common Scenario in VoIP • UA1, UA3: User Agent behind NAT. • UA2: SIP device outside NAT. Proxy Server 0944021403 UA3 sip.ipv6.club.tw NAT 0944021401 0944021021 UA1 UA2
Network Address Translator Computer A IP: 10.0.0.1 Port: 80 IP: 200.200.200.200 Port: 10080 NAT Public Internet Computer B IP: 10.0.0.2 Port: 80 IP: 200.200.200.200 Port: 20080 Public NIC DHCP Client PPPoE Client Mapping Table 10.0.0.1:80 <-> 10080 10.0.0.2:80 <-> 20080 DHCP Server Private NIC
The Problem (1/2) • Because of its private address, the Via header and Contact address in SIP messages sent by UA1 are incorrect. • With incorrect Via header, responses of messages sent by UA1 cannot be routed back. • With incorrect Contact address in REGISTER messages, call server cannot inform UA1 the incoming calls. • UA1 can only act as a calling party.
The Problem (2/2) • When UA1 initiate a call, the connection information for media establishment in SDP are also incorrect. • The IP address in SDP is the private IP address on UA1. • UA2 gets a private peer address, the RTP packets from UA2 cannot be routed to UA1. • Media can only be sent from UA1 to UA2.
STUN (RFC 3489) • A mechanism for a socket behind NAT(s) to get its mapped (IP,port) on Internet. • We build a STUN Server from Vovida’s open source code to answer the queries from STUN clients. • Vovida STUN server 0.8RC • Our server is stun.ipv6.club.tw • We also implemented the “Binding Lifetime Discovery” algorithm in RFC 3489 so that a STUN client can determine how frequently it needs to refresh the binding. • STUN mechanism in our SIP UA is developed from scratch, instead of the open source code. • In addition to calling out, our SIP UA can also receives incoming calls.
STUN Server • Allow clients to discover if it is behind a NAT, what type of NAT it is, and the public address & port NAT will use. • A Very Simple Protocol. Easy to implement. Little computing load. Client wants to receive packets at port 5060 Send a query to STUN server from port 5060 STUN Server receives a packet from 200.200.200.200 port 12345 NAT IP: 200.200.200.200 Port: 12345 Client IP: 10.0.0.1 Port: 5060 STUN Server Port: 3478 STUN Server sends a response to client, telling him that his public address is 200.200.200.200 port 12345
Use STUN for SIP Registration • Use port 5060 to send a packet to STUN Server • Receive public address & port mapped to client:5060 from STUN Server • Fill the SIP register message with client’s public address & port, send to proxy server IP: 140.113.131.72 Port: 56540 NAT Client IP: 10.0.0.1 Port: 5060 STUN Server Port: 3478 Proxy Server Port: 5060 REGISTER sip:proxy.club.tw SIP/2.0 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 140.113.131.72:56540 From: Solomon <sip:solomon@proxy.club.tw:5060> To: Solomon <sip:solomon@proxy.club.tw:5060> … Contact: Solomon <sip:solomon@140.113.131.72:56540> …
Use STUN for RTP • Send two STUN queries from RTP port (9000 & 9002) to STUN Server • Use replied public address & port in SDP IP: 140.113.131.72 Port: 56539 Port: 56541 Client IP: 10.0.0.1 RTP Port: 9000 RTP Port: 9002 NAT STUN Server Port: 3478 Proxy Server Port: 5060 INVITE … … Content-Type: application/sdp c=IN IP4 140.113.131.72 m=audio 56539 RTP/AVP 0 8 3 18 m=video 56541 RTP/AVP 34 96 UA RTP Port: 9000 RTP Port: 9002

Conclusion • By establishing a nation-wide VoIP testbed, NTP wishes to promote the convergence of voice and data services and encourage advanced researches in Taiwan. • SIP coverage in this year is approximately 50,000 users. NTP plans to double the coverage in 2004, and hopefully extend the connectivity with SIP.edu project in Internet2. • STUN proves to be a good solution for non-symmetric NAT. We are still surveying mechanisms for traversing symmetric NAT. • WGSN can be plugged in any 3G core network as being considered as a separate GPRS network. With the adoption of WGSN, it can help mobile operators facilitating the provisioning of WLAN and VoIP services.
