Re: [rtcweb] ICE does not work if both peers are behind symmetric NAT

It is most likely not right since it assumes that different servers are used
for STUN and TURN. In real life these are the same server. We also need to
specify if TURN should be used for this call, or if we plan to use STUN only
and never proxy media. Finally we need to specify credentials to use with
server STUN/TURN.

One more thing that we should decide on is if we need mandate TURNS, or if
we assume that sRTP security is sufficient and TURNS is only used when
connection to TURN server cannot be setup. We also need to figure out how we
need to interact with proxy configuration of the browser. We can either
always use a proxy, use proxy as one of the ICE candidates, only use a proxy
if direct connection to TURN server is not possible.

P.S. We should probably try to get more people with VoIP expertise involved
on W3C side, since right now it looks like they are underrepresented there.
