Description:I'm trying to sort out a one way audio problem. I have nat=yes in [general] and in each device.

sip show peers says rport is not forced:
{noformat}
Name/username             Host                                    Dyn Forcerport ACL Port     Status      Description                                                            
jnctn/<myusername>        <my host>                                    N             5060     OK (11 ms)      
{noformat}

BUT:

sip show peer jnctn
........
Force rport  : Yes

sip.conf:
{noformat}
[jnctn]
nat=yes
fromdomain=jnctn.net
host=sip.jnctn.net
context=junction-in
insecure=invite
directmedia=no
dtmfmode=auto
defaultuser=<usrname>
secret=      ; MY_PASSWORD
type=peer
qualify=80
{noformat}

nat = force_rport is a subset of nat = yes.  From sip.conf:

;        nat = force_rport       ; Force rport to always be on.
;        nat = yes               ; Force rport to always be on and perform comedia RTP handling.

So if nat = yes is specified, then force rport is on by default as well.

'sip show peers' shows 'N' if NAT is being used, which at a minimum, is the case if nat = force_rport or nat = yes.  Otherwise, it displays a blank value.  In other words, 'N' stands for "NAT", as opposed to "No".  So the output for sip show peers actually matches what is being displayed by sip show peer.

OK, maybe it's obvious to all that N means NAT in this context, and not NO.

It wasn't obvious to me. And in sip show peer it gives Yes or No, not Nat or No.

Wouldn't Y be much clearer, and leave it blank for for No?  Or do some existing scripts use this value?
