[Turnserver-users] Testing TURN server

[Gary T. <ga...@ml...>]

I'm trying to understand how to deploy (and test) the TURN server.
What I'd like to have is something like this:

   TURN Server                     NAT              Client
   1.2.3.4                         2.3.4.5
                                   192.128.12.1     192.168.12.50

What I think I understand is that the client behind the NAT
(IPv4 192.168.12.50) can solicit an address from the TURN server
to expose 192.168.12.50:12334?  In this way there will exist some
address, e.g. 1.2.3.4:9876, which represents the client address?

I tried testing like this:
   % test_turn_client -t udp -s 1.2.3.4 -p 192.168.12.50 -w 12334 -u user -g pass -d domain.org

I can see from the server the requests, etc:
   08:14:54.814395 [turnserver.c:5224]     TurnServer start

   08:15:16.603507 [turnserver.c:1566]     Send data to peer

I watched the transaction via wireshark and I can see the STUN messages
up to the point where the 'send indication' reply is sent.  Then nothing
and my client gets nothing as well.

I'm sure I just don't understand how to use this and I didn't find much
help in the documentation or list archives.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
