I believe GTalk is based on jabber/xmpp which is a strictly client-server protocol and so STUN is redundant. That is, the IM portional always connects to a publicly addressable server, just like a web or email client. The VOIP session is negotiated over the IM connection, but then the clients try to exchange the audio data directly to avoid burdening the IM server and it is just for this that STUN and NAT traversal are important. -r _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
