Common wisdom says that for a SIP-based telephony session the media stream is directly end to end. However, for both FWD and sipgate.de I figured that the media stream goes via the respective provider. I would assume the sip proxy to manipulate the Invite messages accordingly. Is this being done to better cope with NAT devices and firewalls?
