Description:This issue is being created because of ASTERISK-25908, which turned into more of a "figure out what we might want" type of task. This task is for the actual follow-through on documentation development.

After researching the mailing list, forums and user blog posts I tried to pinpoint some of the basics of what should be discussed in the documentation. Here is a rough outline.

Describe the problem, including symptoms.
* Issues with NAT
* Issues with Firewalls

Relevant Asterisk configuration files and options
* Pjsip.conf
** Local_net
** External_media_address
** External_signaling_address
** Force_rport
** Direct_media
** disable_direct_media_on_nat
** Ice_support
** Rtp_symmetric
** Rewrite_contact
** T38_udptl_nat
** rtp_keepalive
* Rtp.conf
** res_stun_monitor.conf

Discussion of potential solutions, technologies and tools
* ICE, STUN, TURN
** Client or device support?
** Problems with Classic STUN (such as behind symmetric NAT)
** RFC 5389, DNS and SRV for stun,stuns
** ICE client settings
** Configuring Asterisk for ICE,STUN,TURN
* Other:
** UPnP
** Symmetric RTP
** Media Proxies
** SIP ALG
** SBC
** GRUU

Very Basic Asterisk NAT Configuration
* I have a single Asterisk system and a few phones behind NAT, what do I do?

Very Basic Firewall troubleshooting
* I'm getting one-way audio what do I do?
