[deepak chitriki]

Hi Jean/Ramakrishnan,

           I have one query regarding NAT poke packtes.Currenlty I am
working on enhancement of RTSP client module for Motorola phones.For some
networks,after initiating streaming all the UDP/RTP packets sent from the
server are blocked by the network.It is observed that after disabling
sending NAT packets ,the network is allowing UDP/RTP packets to reach
client.

Could you please tell me why network allows UDP packets after disabling NAT
packets sent from the client.what is the significance of disabling
sending NAT packets.

I appricaite your help.

Thanks,
Deepak
