METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR THROTTLING NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (NAT) LEARNING TRAFFIC IN A VOICE OVER IP DEVICE

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products for throttling network address translation (NAT) learning traffic in a voice over IP device are disclosed. According to one method, a plurality of media packets associated with a media session are received at a voice over IP device. A NAT learning throttling filter is applied to select the subset of the packets to be used for NAT learning and thereby limit the number of received media packets to be used for NAT learning. NAT learning is performed for the session using the packets selected by the NAT learning throttling filter.
