     1.4 +Siproxd is a proxy/masquerading daemon for the SIP protocol.
     1.5 +It handles registrations of SIP clients on a private IP
     1.6 +network and performs rewriting of the SIP message bodies to
     1.7 +make SIP connections work via a masquerading firewall (NAT).
     1.8 +It allows SIP software clients (like kphone, linphone) or
     1.9 +SIP hardware clients (Voice over IP phones which are
    1.10 +SIP-compatible, such as those from Cisco, Grandstream or
    1.11 +Snom) to work behind an IP masquerading firewall or NAT
    1.12 +router.

    1.14 +SIP (Session Initiation Protocol, RFC3261) is the protocol
    1.15 +of choice for most VoIP (Voice over IP) phones to initiate
    1.16 +communication.
    1.17 +By itself, SIP does not work via masquerading firewalls as
    1.18 +the transferred data contains IP addresses and port numbers.
    1.19 +There do exist other solutions to traverse NAT existing
    1.20 +(like STUN, or SIP aware NAT routers), but such a solution
    1.21 +has its disadvantages or may not be applicable to a given
    1.22 +situation.
    1.23 +Siproxd does not aim to be a replacement for these solutions,
    1.24 +however in some situations siproxd may bring advantages.
