METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVISIONING NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATOR TRAVERSAL METHODS

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for provisioning a NAT[Network Address Translator]technique is provided to select and use a correct method by testing an operation method in advance before directly performing a communication between devices. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for provisioning a NAT pass technique includes a controller(1300), a memory(1302), and an interface unit(1304). The controller confirms the operable NAT pass technique through a signaling procedure with a predetermined or advertised STUN server through a connected network. The memory stores information about the operable NAT pass technique which is provided from the controller and provides the information about the operable NAT pass technique which is stored according to the request of the controller to the controller. The interface unit provides a wireless interface between a device and an AP and performs a communication. [Reference numerals] (1300) Controller; (1302) Memory; (1304) Interface unit
