#883 closed enhancement (fixed)

Add user defined NAT hole-punching and keep-alive mechanism to media stream

Reported by: nanang Owned by: nanang

Description

The stream already has NAT hole-punching and keep-alive mechanism, by initially disabling VAD for PJMEDIA_STREAM_VAD_SUSPEND_MSEC (600) milliseconds (to punch a hole in NAT), and to let an outgoing RTP packet go when silence period is greater than PJMEDIA_CODEC_MAX_SILENCE_PERIOD (5 seconds) to keep the NAT binding open.

However some types of application may not be able to use this mechanism, for example a Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC), since transmitting RTP packet without being granted talk permission would upset the server.

Another keep-alive mechanism is needed, whereby the stream should transmit an empty RTP packet or even a non-RTP packet.

When this alternative keep-alive mechanism is used, application may disable the existing keep-alive mechanism by setting PJMEDIA_STREAM_VAD_SUSPEND_MSEC to zero and PJMEDIA_CODEC_MAX_SILENCE_PERIOD to -1.
