  STUN - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
STUN is (Simple Traversal of UDP over NATs) is a network protocol allowing clients behind NAT (or multiple NATs) to find out its public address, the type of NAT it is behind and the internet side port associated by the NAT with a particular local port.
The response also allows the STUN client to determine what type of NAT is in use, as different types of NATs handle incoming UDP packets differently.
It will not work with symmetric NAT (also known as bi-directional NAT) which is often found in the networks of large companies.

 Traversal Using Relay NAT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traversal Using Relay NAT (TURN) is a protocol that allows for an element behind a NAT or firewall to receive incoming data over TCP or UDP connections.
It is most useful for elements behind symmetric NATs or firewalls that wish to be on the receiving end of a connection to a single peer.
Simple Traversal of UDP Through NAT (STUN) provides one means for an application to traverse a NAT.

"Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Through Network Address Translators (NATs) (STUN) is a lightweight protocol that allows applications to discover the presence and types of NATs and firewalls between them and the public Internet.
VoIP signalling protocols like SIP use UDP packets for the transfer of sound data over the internet, but these UDP packets often have trouble getting through NATs in home routers.
It won't work with symmetric NAT (also known as bi-directional NAT) which is often found in the networks of large companies.

 Network Address Translation Information Page - network-address-translation
In computer networking, network address translation (NAT, also known as network masquerading or IP-masquerading) is a technique in which the source and/or destination addresses of IP packets are rewritten as they pass through a router or firewall.
NAT first became popular as a way to deal with the IPv4 address shortage and to avoid the difficulty of reserving IP addresses.
NAT with port-translation comes in two sub-types: source address translation (source NAT), which re-writes the IP address of the computer which initiated the connection; and its counterpart, destination address translation (destination NAT).

 Peer-to-Peer Communication Across Network Address Translators
As with UDP, it is important that TCP applications authenticate their peer-to-peer sessions, due of the likelihood of mistakenly connecting to a random host on the local network that happens to have the same private IP address as the desired host on a remote private network.
NAT Check's primary purpose is to test NATs for the two behavioral properties most crucial to reliable UDP and TCP hole punching: namely, consistent identity-preserving endpoint translation (Section 5.1), and silently dropping unsolicited incoming TCP SYNs instead of rejecting them with RSTs or ICMP errors (Section 5.2).
NAT Check currently assumes that a NAT supporting hairpin translation does not filter ``incoming'' hairpin connections arriving from the private network in the way it would filter incoming connections arriving at the public side of the NAT, because such filtering is unnecessary for security.

 Characterization and Measurement of TCP Traversal through NATs and Firewalls
Port prediction requires that the line of NATs between the client and STUNT server be the same as that between the client and the most external NAT of the endpoint it wishes to connect with.
NAT traversal is an idea that has long existed since it was first proposed for UDP by Dan Kegel, and used for P2P gaming, in the late 90's.
Even with existing NATs, which have not been designed with TCP NAT traversal in mind, we are able to show a 88% average success rate for TCP connection establishment with NATs in the wild, and a 100% success rate for pairs of certain common types of NAT boxes.

Now service providers may have their own NAT traversal schemes, in this case the different options described below may not be relevant anymore (then use the "Never" option).
Or the deployment by the service provider of a NAT resolution capable hardware such as an SBC (Session Border Controller) will be used by default by the softphone and no further action needs to be taken by the end user.
The STUN protocol is used to determine which kind of NAT it is: Full cone, Registered, Port Registered or Symmetric.

 NAT Traversal for Multimedia over IP Services-
NAT devices translate IP addresses and port numbers in private address ranges into public addresses when traffic traverses between private and public networks.
Clearly in the case of a NAT, there is no equivalent of an attendant so unsolicited incoming calls cannot be supported.

Another interesting protocol is IAX2, developed by the Asterisk project, since it communicates only over a single UDP port.

Rather than creating and destroying connections over and over again, established practice calls for use of a pool of connections that can be reused.

Some other technologies required public ip addresses assigned to the voip phones, for IAX, the devices can have a private IP and still be able to receive phone calls thru the outgoing connection it maintains with the AIX server.
The reason it suffers when using NATs is it uses UDP packets.
IAX uses UDP packets as well but only a single stream on 1 port.
