Voice over IP (VoIP)
ICE increases the chances of finding the most efficient path to successful communication between peer devices. If you also enable
STUN and TURN, you improve the ICE protocol's chances of finding the most efficient path to successful communication.
Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN)
Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) is a client-server network protocol that enables the product to ask a STUN server on the
Internet for a mapped public IP address. The STUN server response includes this IP address and port so that the client can use them
in its SIP messages to other hosts and clients.
Like TURN, STUN can be used in full-cone, address-restricted cone, and port-restricted cone NAT setups. STUN is fast because it
is lightweight. However, STUN does not allow incoming messages from symmetric NATs, and it cannot communicate with a peer
behind the same NAT device.
Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN)
Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) is a client-server network protocol that enables the product to ask a TURN server for a
relayed IP address. The TURN server responds with its IP address and port so that the client can use them in its SIP messages.
TURN is primarily used in symmetric NAT setups. Like STUN, TURN can also be used in full-cone, address-restricted cone, and
port-restricted cone NAT setups. But because the IP address and port provided by the TURN server are those of the TURN server
itself, it works like a relay that forwards information to and from the client. This means that while TURN servers are reliable,
they sometimes cause a bit of latency.
